An important consequence of overall permutation symmetry is the Manley–Rowe power relations, which account for energy exchange between electromagnetic waves in a purely reactive (e.g. non-dissipative) medium. Calling Wi the power input at frequency ωi into a unit volume of a dielectric polarizable medium,where the averaging is performed over a cycle andThe following expressions can be derived straightforwardly:Introducing the quadratic induced polarization P(2), Manley–Rowe relations for sum-frequency generation stateSince , (1.7.2.40) leads to an energy conservation condition, namely , which expresses that the power generated at ω3 is equal to the sum of the powers lost at ω1 and ω2.
A quantum mechanical interpretation of these expressions in terms of photon fusion or splitting can be given, remembering that is precisely the number of photons generated or annihilated per unit volume in unit time in the course of the nonlinear interactions.
