The nonlinear propagation of an electromagnetic wave at an arbitrary angle to the direction of the magnetic field in a plasma was studied. An expression is derived for the complex conductivity tensor of a Lorentzian magnetoplasma, which is correct to terms involving the square of the amplitude of the electric vector. This expression, along with the wave equation, was used to analyze two specific problems; the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in an infinite magnetoplasma, and reflection and refraction at the interface of a nonlinear magnetoplasma and a linear isotope medium.
