Second and third harmonic generation in the opaque region of a GaAs wafer is experimentally observed both in transmission and reflection. These harmonic components can propagate through an opaque material as long as the pump is tuned to a region of transparency or semi-transparency, and correspond to the inhomogeneous solutions of Maxwell's equations with nonlinear polarization sources. We show that measurement of the angular and polarization dependence of the observed harmonic components…
