Abstract

Mechanisms that are responsible for the optical harmonics generation at exciton transitions are analyzed in several classes of materials. In the cubic GaAs semiconductor, the magneto-induced optical second-harmonic generation second optical harmonic is observed in the region of orbital quantization of the valence and conduction bands. An unusually strong amplitude of the optical third-harmonic generation in an external magnetic field in the region of 1s exciton due to exciton–polariton resonance is found. The optical second-harmonic generation due to 1s, 2s, and 2p exciton resonances in a magnetic field is revealed in a hexagonal wide band-gap ZnO semiconductor. Depending on the symmetry of the exciton states, the mechanisms of the optical second-harmonic generation involve the spin and orbital Zeeman effects, and the magneto-Stark effect. The magneto-induced contribution to second harmonic generation (SHG) in the region of exciton transitions in the Cr2O3 antiferromagnet placed in an external magnetic field is studied.
