Optical chirality in gyrotropic media: symmetry approach

Optical chirality in gyrotropic media: symmetry approach

We discuss optical chirality in different types of gyrotropic media. Our analysis is based on the formalism of nongeometric symmetries of Maxwell’s equations in vacuum generalized to material media with given constituent relations. This approach enables us to directly derive conservation laws relate...
