Abstract
The differential formalism previously developed to study the diffraction by gratings in linear optics is generalized to metallic gratings in nonlinear optics for TM polarization. It is applied to the study of the enhancement of second-harmonic generation at a silver grating, linked with the resonant excitation of surface plasmons.
