Abstract

The theory of the electrodynamics of a rotating body is used to show that there exists: 1) circular birefringence of purely relativistic origin, composed of dispersive aether drag and residual, ensemble averaged, magnetization; 2) non-relativistic circular birefringence due to the angular velocity of the body in the observer frame; 3) non-relativistic axial birefringence in chiral media due to the angular velocity of the body; 4) second order, relativistic equivalents of 2) and 3).
