Abstract
The photon-photon scattering in vacuum can give rise to the second-harmonic generation of intense laser radiation in a dc magnetic field in the "box" diagram approximation of quantum electrodynamics if the symmetry of interac tion. is broken by modulation or/and nonuniformity of optical wave +dc fiel d system in lime or/and space. Specific examples considered here are: an op tical pulse plane wave or a Gaussian laser beam propagating in uniform or n onuniform dc fields.
