16. The real part is closely connected to the nonlinear refractive index and all the forthcoming calculations could be easily extended to the question of the linear and nonlinear rotation of the beam polarization.

19. This choice of real wave functions is not restrictive. In the general case, one can calculate that (Formula presented) does not contribute to the chiral effects (circular dichroism or polarization rotation) and only the Rosenfeld rotatory strength (Formula presented) is relevant. It is therefore equivalent to replace (Formula presented) in the following by (Formula presented) to obtain the general expressions.
