Abstract
The theory of magneto-chiral birefringence and dichroism is extended to systems composed of diamagnetic molecules acted on by an optical field. For molecules with the point group symmetries 3, 4, 6, ∞, 32, 422, and 622 expressions are derived for the magneto-chiral birefringence and dichroism in the presence of weak as well as very strong optical molecular reorientation caused by a linearly polarized, circularly polarized, or unpolarized laser beam. Measurements of magneto-chiral birefringence and dichroism at optical saturation provide direct information on the respective magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole polarizability tensor components.
