Abstract
It is shown that, in an optically active medium, if sum or difference frequency generation or four-wave mixing occurs, the response to left and right circularly polarized light should be different. Similar effects are studied where, in analogy to the Faraday effect, the optical activity is induced by an external static magnetic field.Keywords
