摘要
The transversely bianisotropic uniaxial medium considered in the Present article can be obtained, e.g., by mixing metal helices with an isotropic base medium in such a way that the axes of the helices are randomly oriented but perpendicular to a fixed direction in space. The medium is a generalization of the well-studied chiral medium, and is somewhat similar to the recently studied axially bianisotropic uniaxial medium, which has interesting polarization properties. Plane-wave propagation in the medium is studied and the solution for the dispersion equation is given. Numerical examples for the wave numbers corresponding to the two eigenwaves of the medium are displayed. It is seen that, unlike in the axially bianisotropic uniaxial medium, there are no optical axes in the present medium, in general.
