Abstract
A nonconductive isotropic chiral medium is described by casing classical el ectromagnetic theory. The phenomenon of nonlinear optical activity of a lin early polarized signal light under the action of a circularly polarized pum p light is investigated. The expressions of nonlinear optical rotational an gle are given. The calculated results using the expressions are in accordan ce to the experimental results.
