Second harmonic generation in laser magnetized–plasma interaction

When an intense laser pulse interacts with homogeneous plasma embedded in a transverse magnetic field, transverse current density oscillating with frequency twice that of the laser field is set up. This leads to generation of second harmonic radiation with significant conversion efficiency.
