contents We study nonlinear response of conventional superconducting alloys with weak magnetic impurities to an external alternating electromagnetic field. In particular, we calculate a correction to superconducting order parameter up to the second order in external vector potential. We show that frequency dependence of the order parameter amplitude has characteristic resonant shape with a maximum at frequency which is smaller than twice the magnitude of the pairing amplitude in equilibrium and at the same time exceeds the single-particle threshold energy. Our results suggest that in the presence of magnetic impurities the dynamics of the pairing amplitude in the collisionless regime will remain robust with respect to dissipative processes. We also evaluate the third harmonic contribution to the current as a function of the probe frequency and for various concentrations of magnetic impurities.
