Abstract

It is established that the partial fluxes of counterpropagating waves in a layer of a nonreciprocal chiral medium exhibit exponential decay, while the interference flux is sustained and exhibits oscillations in depth of the layer. The condition of existence of the interference flux in a nonabsorbing medium is formulated.
