Abstract

In four-dimensional differential-form representation linear medium relations can be expressed in terms of a medium dyadic mapping the electromagnetic two-form involving the B and E fields to the two-form involving the D and H fields. There does not seem to exist a method to invert the medium dyadic in a coordinate-free manner for the general bi-anisotropic medium. Such an inversion is introduced here for the special class of skewon media which is a 15 parameter subclass of previously studied IB media. The resulting compact analytic expression is verified through two simple tests and an expansion in eigenvectors.
