(
P = ε 0 χ 1E + ε 0 χ 3E 3 = ε 0 χ 1 + χ 3E 2 E )
The quantity in parentheses looks like a susceptibility that
changes with light intensity. In fact, this relation describes
a material with a refractive index and absorption
coefficient that are intensity dependent.

(
P = ε 0 χ 1 + χ 3E pump 2 Esi gnal)
The pump changes the absorption coefficient for the
material, making it negative and producing gain at the
signal frequency.
