Abstract

Maxwell’s equations are considered for waves in transparent inhomogeneous anisotropic and gyrotropic media with time dispersion. A uniaxial inhomogeneous crystal is taken for an anisotropic medium and an isotropic heterogeneous medium in a constant electric field for a gyrotropic medium. The solutions for flat-layered and cylindrical media are presented in terms of Hertz potentials.
