The problem of polarized light propagation in the media with weak inhomogeneous anisotropy and gyrotropy (natural and induced) is considered. It is shown that the polarization state in such media undergoes spatial oscillations, which amplitude is maximum when changes of dielectric permeability and gyrotropy are same.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
