Kerr rotation signature of nonlinear Maxwell electrodynamics under a uniform electromagnetic background
M. J. Neves, Pedro D. S. Silva
Nonlinear electrodynamics naturally arises in quantum field theory, where the electromagnetic vacuum behaves as an effective nonlinear optical medium, leading to phenomena such as…
Double rotatory power reversal, continuous Kerr angle, and enhanced reflectance in bi-isotropic media with anomalous Hall current
Alex Q. Costa, Pedro D. S. Silva, Manoel M. Ferreira
We investigate the optical properties of bi-isotropic materials under the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) of axion electrodynamics. Four refractive indices associated with circularly p…
Optical reflection signature of an axion dielectric with magnetic current
Pedro D. S. Silva, Ronald A. Pereira, Manoel M. Ferreira
In this work, we investigate the reflection properties on the interface between an ordinary dielectric medium and a dielectric supporting a magnetic current (equivalent to a dielec…
Classical electrodynamics as a tool to examine optical effects of chiral dielectrics and media with magnetic conductivity
Pedro D. S. Silva, Manoel M. Ferreira
We discuss how classical electromagnetic techniques are useful to describe optical effects in conventional and chiral dielectric systems endowed with optical activity. Starting fro…
