An experimental <optical physicist> who coauthored a 1961 observation of optical <second-harmonic generation>. Passing intense <laser> <light> through <quartz> generated radiation with half the incident wavelength. Spectral separation of that weak new component supplied a direct test of the optical medium's <nonlinear polarization>.<Generation of Optical Harmonics by Peter Alden Franken and others>[Author list and quartz frequency-doubling experiment]{ref}
