Microcavity-enhanced magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation in 1D magneto-photonic crystals

In this paper, results of the first observation of magnetization-induced second-harmonic generation (SHG) in one-dimensional magneto-photonic microcavities are described. Both significant magnetization-induced rotation of second-harmonic wave polarization and magnetization-induced variations of the SHG intensity are detected at the fundamental wavelengths in the vicinity of microcavity mode.
