We describe our implementation of a fully analytical scheme, based on the 2n + 1 rule, for computing the coupled perturbed Hartree Fock and Kohn-Sham dynamic first hyperpolarizability tensor β(−ω{sub σ}; ω{sub 1}, ω{sub 2}) of periodic 1D (polymer), 2D (slab), and 3D (crystal) systems in the CRYSTAL code [R. Dovesi et al., Int. J. Quantum Chem. 114, 1287 (2014)], which utilizes local Gaussian type basis sets. The dc-Pockels (dc-P) and second harmonic generation (SHG) tensors are included as special cases. It is verified that (i) symmetry requirements are satisfied; (ii) using LiF as an example, the infinite periodic polymer result agrees with extrapolated finite oligomer calculations and, likewise, for the build-up to a 2D slab and a 3D crystal; (iii) the values converge to the static case for low frequencies; and (iv) the Bishop-deKee dispersion formulas relating dc-P, SHG, and general processes are reproduced through quartic terms. Preliminary SHG calculations on multi-layer MoS{sub 2} satisfactorily reproduce experimental data.
