DEFINITION

Classification: 359/328

Harmonic generator:

(under subclass 326) Subject matter wherein a nonlinear optical device generates a wave having a frequency which is an integral multiple of a fundamental input wave frequency.

(1) Note. A wave with twice the frequency of the fundamental is called the second harmonic.
