I suspect his professor meant that the *frequencies* get added and subtracted. Which you achieve by multiplying the signals.

Probably.  That kind of treatment "transforms"  the nonlinear into the linear for ease of calculations.

Hmm, I am still thinking about this sort of thing, and just came across an article that seems to confirm that this sort of technique works/exists... but for some reason (dogma/history/technical-language-barriers??? or something else I'm failing to understand) they don't call it optical heterodyning, but rather 'sum frequency generation':
