The photon-photon scattering predicted by quantum electrodynamics can give rise to second-harmonic generation of intense laser radiation in a dc magnetic field due to broken symmetry of interaction even in the “box” diagram approximation. This effect is possible only when the field system (i.e. optical wave+dc field) is inhomogeneous, in particular when a Gaussian laser beam (i.e. nonplane wave) propagates in either homogeneous or inhomogeneous dc magnetic field.

AbstractSecond-harmonic generation of the relativistic self-focused chirped laser pulse in plasma has been studied with the exponential plasma density ramp profile in the presence of a planar magnetostatic wiggler. It is evident that the exponential plasma density ramp is helpful in enhancing second-harmonic generation as, with the introduction of the exponential plasma density ramp, self-focusing becomes stronger and hence, it leads to enhance the harmonic generation of the second order in the plasma. Also, it is observed that the efficiency of second-harmonic generation enhances significantly with an increase in the value of the chirp parameter. Further, the magnetostatic wiggler helps in enhancing the harmonic generation of the second order. This is due to the fact that dynamics of the oscillating electrons is altered due to the Lorentz force which, in turn, modifies the plasma wave and, hence, results in the efficient second-harmonic generation.
