Ar. Bungay et al., TIME-NON-INVARIANT LINEAR BIREFRINGENCE AND DICHROISM DUE TO SPIN-ORBIT INTERACTION, Chemical physics letters, 217(3), 1994, pp. 249-255
Evidence of time-nonreversible nonreciprocal linear birefringence and
dichroism has been observed in a GaAs crystal in experiments in transm
ission and reflection. Time-nonreversibility is treated in terms of th
e quantum theory of nonlocal optical response, revealing the role of t
he spin-orbit interaction.
