No circular birefringence exists in a chiral medium: an analysis of single-mode refraction

No circular birefringence exists in a chiral medium: an analysis of single-mode refraction

Optical activity is one of the most fundamental phenomena in nature. The existing theoretical description of optical activity is the circular birefringence, proposed in 1825 by Fresnel. It states that the right-handed circularly polarized (RCP) and left-handed circularly polarized (LCP) waves in a c...
