Gyrotropic birefringence via electromagnon resonance in a multiferroic of spin origin

We investigate the gyrotropic birefringence (GB) that is a light-propagation-direction-dependent nonreciprocal response of birefringence, arising from the dynamical magnetoelectric coupling in a multiferroic manganite with spin-cycloid order in terms of time-domain terahertz polarimetry. The GB show...
