Abstract
We propose a new measurement procedure to study the role of magnetic-dipole contributions to the second-order nonlinearity in chiral materials. The procedure is based on the measurement of the ellipticity of the second-harmonic light generated in the chiral material. A better insight in the magnetic-dipole nonlinearities of materials could eventually lead to the observation of new phenomena in the field of photochemistry and photophysics.
