Abstract
The Maxwell equation is solved for axial birefringence due to electric and magnetic rectification measured with a collinear unpolarized probe laser by switching an intense circularly polarized pump laser from right to left. Axial birefringence is caused by vector products of electric and magnetic conjugate components of the intense electromagnetic field. Axial birefringence can be measured with a modified Rayleigh refractometer and depends on new three- and four-rank molecular property tensors.
