I want better understand the physics of the nonlinear optical processes. If we want to achieve the phase-matching condition in the sum-frequency generation (SFG) using the uniaxial crystals which kind of crystals will be better for this, the positive or negative uniaxial? Why? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each of this types of crystals.

Thank you in advance!
