Effect of the Nonlinear Parameters on the Propagation in Bi-isotropic Media

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to compare the nonlinear chiroptical and non-reciprocity effects of bi-isotropic media. The nonlinearity used is of a Kerr type. Following the approach of Mezache–Benabdelaziz, recently new nonlinear effects are characterized in a bi-anisotropic medium, which is due to the magnetization vector under the influence of a strong electric field. We then use these results to present the solution of nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the general case of bi-isotropic (chiral and non-reciprocal). Numerical simulations were carried out, in order to confirm the effect of the nonlinear chiroptical and non-reciprocity on the propagation analysis.
