Abstract
The effect of nonlinear polarization rotation of elliptically polarized laser pulses in solutions of fullerene (C<sub>70</sub>) in organic solvents and their mixtures has been experimentally studied. The nonlinear refractive index n<sub>2</sub> and nonlinear cubic susceptibility Reχ<sup>(3)</sup> (ω;ω,ω,-ω) of these solutions have been defined. The correlation between the process of C<sub>70</sub> cluster formation in solutions and the angle of self-induced polarization rotation of passing laser beam was demonstrated. The physical mechanism of self-induced optical activity in solutions is discussed.
