Abstract:Dyadic formulae for the medium parameters of the electromagnetic point-localized constitutive relations from the microscopic theory of optically-active molecules and crystals have been newly found, which clears out long-held controversy on reciprocity and equivalence.2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 160.1190, 260.1180. It is quite extraordinary that, although the finding of optical activity in one of the optically-active crystals, α-quartz, was made almost two hundred years ago, 1 some significant c… Show more
