Abstract
The optical second-harmonic intensity generated by magnetic multilayer s appears to depend strongly on the magnetization. Combining interface and magnetic sensitivity, magnetization-induced optical second-harmon ic generation provides a unique tool to study magnetic interface prope rties. The underlying theoretical analysis is given and illustrated wi th an example and experiments on Co/Au multilayers.
