Abstract
Introducing nonlocal effects such as magnetic dipolar and electric quadrupolar ones in the time-dependent perturbation theory, we analyze the signature of optical activity in the nonlinear response of a liquid of chiral molecules. In particular, we show that such a liquid should display a nonlinear circular dichroism. Expressions for a three-level system are given.
