This paper suggests that an optical method can be used to reliably probe valley polarization in graphene. It shows that at normal incidence of photons, imbalance of carrier populations in two valleys gives rise to second harmonic generation in graphene which can be used to experimentally determine both the degree and sign of the valley polarization.
