Alan Hill, credited as A. E. Hill, coauthored the 1961 observation of optical harmonic generation. A sufficiently intense optical field drives a nonlinear material response, producing light at a multiple of the incident frequency.
The experiment connected nonlinear polarization with a measured new spectral component, helping establish experimental nonlinear optics. The source author list is the verified attribution; no unverified personal dates or appointments are added.[ref]
