Additional Nonreciprocity Effects in the Magneto-Optics of Asymmetric Layer Structures

It has been shown that space–time inversion symmetry breaking at the normal incidence of a quasiplane wave on an asymmetric multilayer structure in the Voigt geometry can result in the formation of the angular Goos–Hanchen effect at reflection and transmission, as well as the spatial Goos–Hanchen effect at transmission. The effects are characterized by nonreciprocity not only with respect to the inversion of direction of static magnetic field but also with respect to the permutation of nongyrotropic layers surrounding a gyrotropic layer.
