Abstract
The electromagnetic field operators in the quantum electrodynamical theory of radiation-molecule interactions are found in the Heisenberg picture. The sources include optically active molecules, so that these fields are dependent on the handedness of the molecules. The multipolar Hamiltonian is used to calculate the displacement vector and the magnetic field correct to terms quadratic in the transition moments. These fields are used to calculate the coupling with an achiral molecule, leading to the differential absorption rates for induced circular dichroism in a simple manner. Results are presented for tumble-averaged as well as for randomly oriented molecular pairs.
