Abstract
The symmetry of the third-order susceptibility tensor elements is addressed for semiconductor heterostructures. 8 independent elements are found for the normal sample geometry and coefficients for nonlinear refractive phenomena are derived. The change in dimensionality with intermixing is discussed.
