In this article we provide a practical prescription to harness the rigorous microscopic, quantum-level descriptions of subwavelength light matter systems provided by real-space Hopfield diagonalization for quantum description of nonlinear scattering. A general frame to describe the practically important second-order optical nonlinearities that underpin sum and difference frequency generation is developed for arbitrarily inhomogeneous dielectric environments. Specific attention is then focused on planar systems with optical nonlinearity mediated by a polar dielectric beta-SiC halfspace. In this system we calculate the rate of second harmonic generation, and the result is compared to recent experimental measurements. Furthermore, the rate of difference frequency generation of subdiffraction surface phonon polaritons on the beta-SiC halfspace by two plane waves is calculated. The developed theory is easily integrated with commercial finite element solvers, opening the way for calculation of second-order nonlinear scattering coefficients in complex geometries that lack analytical linear solutions.
