Developments of Fedorov Covariant Methods and Applications to Optically Active Crystals

  • Chapter
Book cover Advances in Complex Electromagnetic Materials

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 28))

Abstract

The report presents a review of crystal optical activity studies performed at the Institute of Crystallography either in direct collaboration with F.I. Fedorov and his students or influenced by his ideas. These studies give a detailed consideration of the boundary crystal-optics problems accounting for anisotropy, gyrotropy and absorption, the most complicated case of the oblique incidence on the uniaxial gyrotropic layer with arbitrary optical axis orientation and gyration tensor among them. The effects of manifestation of gyrotropy and anisotropy are discussed. Various experimental ellipsometric, spectrophotometric and spectropolarimetric methods for the determination of optical parameters are reviewed as well. The theoretical and experimental approaches for the studies of some gyrotropic crystals and crystalline thin films are described.
