with reversed rotation directions of the two principal polarizations, corresponding to complex-conjugate ε tensors for lossless media, are called optical isomers.
Trying to disentangle this. What do they mean by reversed rotation of the two principal axes?
-
s well as Lorentz reciprocity, which is a necessary condition to construct devices such as optical isolators (through which light passes in one direction but not the other).
Not sure how this stacks up against the wave plate argument you have.

The MOKE,fundamentally related to the spin-polarized electronic bandstructure, is manifested itself by the change of polarizationand/or intensity of incident polarized light when it is re-flected from the surface of a magnetized medium
Wow. That was explicit

This is known asthenonreciprocal property of lightpropagation in ferromagnets.
You should also be able to do this with a mirror and a quarter wave plate. the quarter wave plate would slow one axis of linearly polarized light, and again slow the same axis when the light passes back through the wave plate.
The wave plate is reciprocal. What's special here?

Great, that would explain the sample matrix in MOKE hopefully.

Kerr rotation (KR) of "' 0.5°
Can use this number to estimate the skin depth of the light penetrating through the matterial obeying the standard feromagnetic faraday rotation.
amount of propagation distance 0.5 degrees / (10^{4 to 6} deg/cm) = 0.510^ -{4 to 6} cm = 0.510^ -{6 to 8} m
depth = propagation distance/2 = 0.25 *10^ -{6 to 8} m = 2.5 to 250 nm
makes me wonder if parts of the wave is going into the material to different depths, whether parts of the wave would pick up different Kerr rotations.

During that time he deployed it in crucial experiments involving polarization, birefringence, and optical rotation,[3][4][5] all of which contributed to the eventual acceptance of his transverse-wave theory of light.
That's crazy that that's how the transverse theory of light came about.

e magnetization field or M-field can be defined according to the following equation: M = d m d V {\displaystyle \mathbf {M} ={\frac {\mathrm {d} \mathbf {m} }{\mathrm {d} V}}}
This equation \(\bm{M} = d\bm{m}/dV\) is rather bizarre. How do you take a derivative with respect to a volume?
This makes sense if you take the definition of m as an indefinite integral, rather than an integral evaluated over all space.
In that context, m is a function of the volume you have included so far. This makes the derivative make sense, because as you include more volume, the derivative is how much the total magnetization increases by.

Justification probably being that the like poles repel each other, and like poles attract and annihilate.

ut scattering is too small to be detected. No special preparation of a biological specimen is required, and images can be obtained ‘non-contact’ or through a transparent window or membrane. It is also important to note that the laser output from the instruments used is low – eye-safe near-infrared or visible-light[29]
Too little light to be detected, yet the light intensity is low. Can you penetrate deeper with just a stronger beam?

This is required by the reversibility (or unitarity of the quantum evolution) of the beam splitter.
Not obvious to me why this is the case.
