Intense nonlinear magnetic dipole radiation at optical frequencies: molecular scattering in a dielectric liquid.
We report white-light generation and intense linear scattering from magnetic dipoles established by the time-varying magnetic flux of an incident light field in a dielectric medium. Large magnetic response is very unexpected at optical frequencies, and should lead to the discovery of new magneto-optical phenomena and the realization of low-loss homogeneous optical media with negative refractive indices.
