Abstract
Recently, a great number of investigations have been done on the parametric interactions of electromagnetic waves in gyrotropic media. This is because of the possibilities of applying these effects in the design of devices controlling various characteristics of electromagnetic signals in SHF (super high frequency) and IR (infra-red) bands. In an earlier article [1] the interaction of electromagnetic waves in a crystal with spirally modulated transient permittivity was considered. The present paper is devoted to the study of the electromagnetic wave propagation in a naturally gyrotropic crystal in which the induced anisotropy is spatially uniform and rotates in time. This case is interesting because it allows an exact solution of Maxwell’s equations for a non-stationary medium.
