We observed optically induced circular dichroism by pumping the ferromagnetic semiconductor europium sulfide with circularly polarized light. The observed decrease of the effect in a transverse magnetic field is well approximated by a Lorentz curve. A procedure for observing optically induced circular dichroism is presented.
