Abstract
Among the tensors used in the published literature to characterize a phenomenon of nonlinear optics, some are not invariant under a change of origin. In this paper, we show that this invariance can be obtained in a general manner, if the densities of electric and magnetic polarization are not separated but replaced by a density of magnetoelectric polarization whose quantum calculation is performed for a molecular crystal.

## Abstract In a previous paper, denoted I [C. Duprez and J. Tillieu, Int. J. Quantum Chem. **17**, 155 (1980)], a global tensor, invariant in an origin change, has been introduced for all optical phenomena. The results obtained have been applied to two particular cases: refraction and the Faraday
