Abstract
Polarization-dependent photon spectroscopy (dichroism) of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) response is shown to reveal chiral and magnetic properties of a sample. Two dichroic signals are allowed with electric-dipole (E1) and electric-quadrupole (E2) scattering events, and both require circular polarization in the primary beam. Explicit expressions for electronic multipoles, which benefit from equivalent electronic operators, in NCD and MCD of the SHG response are derived using theoretical techniques from atomic physics.
