Abstract

A theory for the nonlinear (with respect to the electric field) Faraday effect has been developed and applied to a simple model. Within the frame-work of this model our analysis shows that the ratio of the nonlinear Verdetconstant to the linear Verdet constant is proportional to the intensity of theincident light and depends on the frequency of light, the excitation energyof the model molecule, and the temperature of the medium. This ratio is smallunder ordinary conditions. However, under certain circumstances it may becomelarge. enough for experimentalobservation.
