Abstract

Natural optical activity in magnetic media for which the exchange interaction dominates is studied theoretically. It is shown using a phenomenological theory that the optical activity effect can be observed in a medium with a nonuniform noncoplanar magnetization distribution without an inversion center. A microscopic theory of the optical activity is constructed for a medium with a helicoidal magnetic structure.
