Spectroscopic study of diamagnetic, diluted magnetic, and magnetically ordered semiconductors reveals several novel mechanisms of optical harmonics generation. It is found that Landau‐level orbital quantization of the band energy is a key mechanism for magnetic‐field‐induced second harmonic generati...
