Faraday effect: A Field theoretical point of view

Avijit K. Ganguly; Sushan Konar; Palash B. Pal

We analyze the structure of the vacuum polarization tensor in the presence of a background electromagnetic field in a medium. We use various discrete symmetries and crossing symmetry to constrain the form factors obtained for the most general case. From these symmetry arguments, we show why the vacuum polarization tensor has to be even in the background field when there is no background medium. Taking then the background field to be purely magnetic, we evaluate the vacuum polarization to linear order in it. The result shows the phenomenon of Faraday rotation, i.e., the rotation of the plane of polarization of a plane polarized light passing through this background. We find that the usual expression for Faraday rotation, which is derived for a non-degenerate plasma in the non-relativistic approximation, undergoes substantial modification if the background is degenerate and/or relativistic. We give explicit expressions for Faraday rotation in completely degenerate and ultra-relativistic media.

Optical activity from extra dimensions

Avijit K. Ganguly; R. Parthasarathy

Optical activity, like Faraday effect, is a rotation of the plane of polarization of propagating light in a medium and can be attributed to different sources with distinct signatures. In this note we discuss the effect of optical activity {\it{in vacuum}} due to Kaluza-Klein scalar field

Photon and axion oscillation in a magnetized medium: A general treatment

Avijit K. Ganguly; Pankaj Jain; Subhayan Mandal

In continuation to our earlier work, in which the structure of the polarization tensor in a medium was analyzed in the presence of a background electromagnetic field, we discuss the absorptive part of the polarization tensor. Using the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory we calculate the absorptive part of the 1-loop polarization tensor in the weak field limit
