Theoretical investigation of the nonlinear circular dichroism in a liquid of chiral molecules

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

Introducing nonlocal effects such as magnetic dipolar and electric quadrupolar ones in the time-dependent perturbation theory, we show that a liquid of chiral molecules should exhibit a nonlinear circular dichroism, i.e., a difference in the nonlinear absorption depending on the handedness of the light polarization. General expressions are given, and it is shown that such an effect should be measurable experimentally.
