Nonlinear optical properties of chiral media

This thesis concerns nonlinear optical phenomena in liquids and at interfaces. Optical processes are considered in chiral liquids and at chiral surfaces to second order in the applied electric fields, and to third-order in fluids. Time-dependent perturbation theory is used to describe the response o...
