Abstract
Magnetization-induced second harmonic generation (MSHG) and spectroscopy of magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) are studied in Co-Cu magnetic granular films. The MSHG studies reveal the giant nonlinear magneto-optical Kerr eff ect (NOMOKE). The NOMOKE magnetic contrast and the angle of Kerr rotation o f the second harmonic wave polarization exceed the corresponding MOKE param eters almost by two orders of magnitude.
