A nonconductive isotropic chiral medium is described by using classical electromagnetic theroy. The phenomenon of nonlinear optical activity of a linearly polarized aignal light under the action of a circularly polarized pump light is investigated. The expressions of nonlinear optical rotational angle are given. The calculated results using the expressions are in accordance to the experimental results.
