✦ Synopsis
Using Condon's quantum oscillator methodology to examine the implications for optical rotary beha¨ior of the classical electromagnetic fields, we pro¨ide a simple deri¨ation showing that nonreciprocity is not to be expected in ordinary chiral-like media. Furthermore, we conclude that the only way to achie¨e such desired nonreciprocal attributes is to combine such chiral materials with known nonreciprocating media.
