“…However, a link between chirality and magnetism in chiral media, which had first been discussed for light refraction by Baranova et al (1977) and predicted theoretically in absorption by Wagnière and Meier (1983), was demonstrated experimentally by Raupach (1997, 2000) with the production of ee in a chromium (III)-trisoxalato complex in solution by irradiation with unpolarized light in the presence of a longitudinal magnetic field parallel to it. This effect, named magnetochiral dichroism, is due to the interplay between the linear perturbation of the magnetic field and the radiation induced polarization of chiral molecules, which leads enantiomers to absorb differently a light traveling parallel or antiparallel to an applied magnetic field (Barron and Vrbancich, 1984;Wagnière, 1999).…”

“…The effect was predicted for molecules by Baranova, Bogdanov and Zel'dovich in 1977 [5], and a simple microscopic model for the effect was provided by Baranova and Zel'dovich in 1979 [6]. Magnetochirality in absorption was predicted by Wagnière and Meier in 1982 [7].…”

Magnetochiral anisotropy refers to the phenomenon that when light is passed through a chiral medium placed in an external magnetic field, the refractive index, or equivalently, the absorption encountered by the light differs depending on whether it travels parallel or antiparallel to the magnetic field. It is a very small effect, the change in refractive index because of this effect alone being of the order of 10 11 . This effect has recently been measured in an active ring laser interferometer in which the detection scheme convincingly eliminates the contributions from natural optical activity, the Faraday effect and other stray anisotropies in the system. The phenomenon is important in the context of fundamental interactions between light and matter and the governing symmetry principles, and also in biochemistry as one possible explanation for the homochirality of life.

“…One of the most prominent examples of such phenomena is the natural optical activity, the rotation of the plane of polarization of linearly polarized light as it travels through a gyrotropic medium [13]. Back in 1970s it was predicted that a current flowing through a gyrotropic medium results in the light polarization plane rotation [3,14], the effect was observed in bulk Te shortly afterwards [15].…”

We demonstrate theoretically that in gyrotropic semiconductors and semiconductor nanosystems the Brownian motion of electrons results in temporal fluctuations of the polarization plane of light passing through or reflected from the structure, i.e., in stochastic Faraday or Kerr rotation effects. The theory of the effects is developed for a number of prominent gyrotropic systems such as bulk tellurium, ensembles of chiral carbon nanotubes, and GaAs-based quantum wells of different crystallographic orientations. We show that the power spectrum of these fluctuations in thermal equilibrium is proportional to the ac conductivity of the system. We evaluate contributions resulting from the fluctuations of the electric current, as well as of spin, valley polarization, and the spin current to the noise of the Faraday/Kerr rotation. Hence, all-optical measurements of the Faraday and Kerr rotation noise provide an access to the transport properties of the semiconductor systems.
