This paper is devoted to study the following systems of coupled elliptic equations with quadratic nonlinearity
$ \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\varepsilon^{2}\Delta v+P(x)v = \mu vw, &x\in{\mathbb{R}}^{N},\\ -\varepsilon^{2}\Delta w+Q(x)w = \frac{\mu}{2} v^{2}+\gamma w^{2}, &x\in{\mathbb{R}}^{N}, \end{cases} \end{equation*} $
which arises from second- harmonic generation in quadratic optical media. We assume that the potential functions
$ P(x) $
 and
$ Q(x) $
 are positive functions and have a strict local maxima at
$ x_{0} $
. Applying the finite dimensional reduction method, for any integer
$ 1\leq k\leq N+1 $
, we prove the existence of positive solutions which have
$ k $
 local maximum points that concentrate at
$ x_{0} $
 simultaneously when
$ \varepsilon $
 is small.
Keywords: Quadratic nonlinearity, concentrating solutions, finite dimensional reduction method.
