41. Note that, for the sake of simplicity, we regard the matrix d of Eq. to be independent of the frequency since in this paper, apart from the ideal lossless case, we mainly deal with the undepleted pump regime, where only the nonlinear matrix d at the SH frequency plays a role. However, it should be noted that our method and numerical analysis can easily be extended to encompass nonlinear dispersion.

43. Note that the same electromagnetic TM-TE structure (for the FW and SHW, respectively) is supported even in media belonging to the symmetry class 2 whose d matrix is considerably more general than that of Eq..
