Cm. Krowne, QUANTUM OSCILLATOR ARGUMENT AGAINST NONRECIPROCITY IN LINEAR BI-ISOTROPIC MEDIA, Microwave and optical technology letters, 16(5), 1997, pp. 312-315
Using Condon's quantum oscillator methodology to examine the implicati
ons for optical rotary behavior of the classical electromagnetic field
s, we provide a simple derivation showing that nonreciprocity is not t
o be expected in ordinary chiral-like media. Furthermore, we conclude
that the only way to achieve such desired nonreciprocal attributes is
to combine such chiral materials with known nonreciprocating media. (C
