Possible mechanisms of nonlinear optical activity (NLOA) in crystals connected with electronic nonlinearities are considered in this work. Relations are obtained that describe nonlinear changes in the structure of light polarization in a medium having weak, arbitrary nonlinearity. It is shown that in media with third-order nonlinearity, NLOA may be linked either with the distribution of nonlinearity in the medium or with the anisotropy of nonlinear absorption-so-called absorptive and dispersive NLOA.
