We theoretically study second-harmonic generation in two-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals and obtain a unified expression that combines nonlinear Raman-Nath diffraction, Čerenkov-type second-harmonic generation, and nonlinear Bragg diffraction. The analytical solution is deduced, and the theoretical result coincides well with the nonlinear Raman-Nath, nonlinear Čerenkov, and nonlinear Bragg diffraction phase-matching conditions. This method has potential applications in second-harmonic generation of more complicated two-dimensional and even three-dimensional nonlinear photonic crystals.
