About the Possibility of Linearization of Quadratic Cotton-Mouton Birefringence Change due to kH-Effect.
The Case of CdS Crystals (download full version)

Vlokh R., Adamenko D., Klymiv I. and Vlokh O.

A possibility for appearance of the so-called kH-effect in crystals is analyzed, which originates from the light absorption, spatial dispersion and the influence of magnetic field. It is shown that the kH–effect can lead to linearization of the Cotton-Mouton effect. The coefficients of both the Cotton-Mouton ( n₃³b₃₁-n₁³b₁₁=2.8*10^-15Oe^-1) and the kH-effect ( d₁₁₁₂<0.72*10^-20m/Oe) are obtained for CdS crystals.

Key words: nonreciprocal birefringence, spatial dispersion, magnetooptics
