Influence of damping on the vanishing of the linear electro-optic effect in chiral isotropic media Academic Article

abstract

• Influence of damping on the vanishing of the linear electro-optic effect (EOE) in chiral isotropic medium was investigated. It was shown that it is not adequate to use a frequency-independent damping parameter in treating relaxation processes within the context of density-matrix calculations. The results suggested that relaxation effects can lead to an EOE in chiral isotropic medium.
