Abstract
The method of integral equations of molecular optics has been applied to nonlinear optics within the limits of conception of local (microscopic) field.1 The cornerstone of that research was assumption that nonlinear polarization satisfies the wave equation, assuming that a number of strict limitations (e.q., plane pumping wave, plane interface between the media, approximation of a given field) are applied. This problem was solved2 without such limitations but only for a nonmagnetic medium with dipole mechanism of nonlinearity. In this work quadrupole and magnetodipole orders are taken into account.
