42
As this is a meeting of those who like a bit of heresy, and Optical Engineers, who know that the speed of light in media can be different for different states of polarization, let me start out with the first, little appreciated, heretical statement: Non-Reciprocal Media.
43
In Non-Reciprocal media, the Speed of light not only depends upon polarization, but also depends upon the direction of propagation. Non-Reciprocal Media. As this is a meeting of those who like a bit of heresy, and Optical Engineers, who know that the speed of light in media can be different for different states of polarization, let me start out with the first, little appreciated, heretical statement:

47
These concepts stimulated a search for apparatus which could measure the effects of gravity on the polarization of an EM wave, and ultimately to practical applications of a Sagnac dual polarized ring laser. Every one should read E. J. Post “The Formal Structure of Electromagnetics” North Holland 1962 or Dover 1997
48
The Faraday Ratchet can accumulate tiny phase shifts from multiple to-fro reflections. The hope was that such a device could capture the tiny effect of gravity on the polarization of the PHOTON.
49
The Faraday Ratchet can accumulate tiny phase shifts from multiple to-fro reflections. The hope was that such a device could capture the tiny effect of gravity on the polarization of the PHOTON. It was soon determined that classical EM theory would not give an answer to EM - gravity polarization interactions.

Tune to a single mode. If no intra Optical Cavity effects, then get a single beat frequency due to Sagnac Rotation. If A.O. and Faraday effects are combined in the Optical Cavity, then get 4 beat frequencies.
53
Conclusion The 4 different beams have 4 different phase velocities, dependent upon polarization and propagation direction.
54
Experiments conducted by V. Sanders and R. M. Kiehn in 1977, using dual polarized ring lasers verified that the speed of light can have a 4 different phase velocities depending upon direction and polarization. The 4-fold Lorentz degeneracy can be broken. Such solutions to the Fresnel Maxwell theory, subject to a gauge constraint, were published first in 1979. After patents were secured, the full theory of singular solutions to Maxwell’s equations without gauge constraints was released for publication in Physical Review in 1991. R. M. Kiehn, G. P. Kiehn, and B. Roberds, Parity and time-reversal symmetry breaking, singular solutions and Fresnel surfaces, Phys. Rev A 43, pp. 5165-5671, 1991. Examples of the theory are presented in the next slides, which shows the exact solution for the Fresnel Kummer singular wave surface for combined Optical Activity and Faraday Rotation.

91
Use Maple to solve more complicated cases: Six equations 12 unknowns k x E - B = 0, k x H + D = 0 Use Constitutive Equation to yield 6 more equations Define Technique: Use constitutive equations to eliminate, say, D and B This yields a 6 x 6 Homogenous matrix in 6 unknowns. The determinant of the Homogeneous matrix must vanish
92
The determinant can be evaluated in terms of the 3 x 3 sub matrices of the 6 x 6 complex constitutive matrix and the anti-symmetric 3 x 3 matrix, [ n x ] composed of the vector, n = k /ω. The determinant formula is: The general constitutive matrix can lead to tedious computations. A Maple program takes away the drudgery.
