Vlokh R. and Adamenko D.

It is shown that, under the conditions of coexisting natural optical activity and non-zero linear optical birefringence, reversal of the light wave vector sign can result in changing angle of Faraday rotation.

Keywords: natural optical activity, Faraday rotation, magnetogyration, non-reciprocity
