Preferred Label : harmonic frequency generation;
IUPAC definition : Production of coherent radiation of frequency kν(k 2, 3, ...) from coherent radiation
of frequency. In general, this effect is obtained through the interaction of laser
light with a suitable optical medium with non-linear polarizability. The case k
2 is referred to as frequency doubling, k 3 is frequency tripling and k 4 is frequency
quadrupling. Even higher integer values of k are possible.;
