We study the polarization of the electric field in Fabry-Perot resonators which contain at least two optically birefringent elements. One of them is a frequency-doubling crystal, the other being either a passive and/or an active crystal. Using the Jones matrix technique, we review the polarization properties of the linear Fabry-Perot cavity and extend these results to V-shaped cavities. For these configurations, we derive the rate of conversion of the fundamental frequencies into the second harmonic and the sum frequencies. These conversion rates are interpreted as intensity-dependent losses for the rate equations of the fundamental modes which are derived.

The semi-classical theory of laser has been reformulated on the basis of the Hartree average-field method. It is assumed that the light field is enclosed in a Fabry-Perot resonator and forms a standing wave in the cavity. The frequency pulling effect also has been taken into consideration.
