Abstract
Second-harmonic generation from the surface of an isotropic gyrotropic medium is theoretically investigated for the reflection geometry. We derive formulas describing amplitude and polarization characteristics of the reflected-wave field at the frequency of the second harmonic. I t is demonstrated that intensity vanishing at the center of the signal beam polarization and intensity of the light vary in a complex manner in the cross section of the beam, with the signal beam.
