Magnetic-field-induced signal of second harmonic generation (SHG) was found and investigated in GaAs semiconductor. This phenomenon arises due to the symmetry breaking that leads to new nonlinear optical contributions. A series of narrow SHG lines was observed in the spectral range from 1.52 to 1.77 eV that we attribute to magneto-excitons and Landau-level quantization of the band energy spectrum. Model calculations reveal a nonlinear magneto-optical spatial-dispersion as a dominant mechanism that comes together with the electric-dipole term.
