Left-right coupling of circularly polarized light propagating inside biaxially gyrotropic left-handed media

研究了双轴螺旋向性负材料中极化光波的左 右旋偏振耦合效应 .证明这种极化光的左 右偏振耦合效应导致在介质中传播的左右旋光具有频率移动效应 .讨论了极化光左 右偏振耦合效应的起源 (非局域极化效应 )与它的若干应用 。

The left right coupling of circularly polarized light in biaxially gyrotropic left handed media is considered in the present paper. It is shown that this left right coupling gives rise to the frequency shifts of both left and right handed polarized light propagating inside the biaxially gyrotropic left handed media. In addition, we discuss the physical origin of left right couplings of polarized light ( i.e., the nonlocal polarization effect), and its potential applications ( e.g., controllable position dependent frequency shifts) in information science.
