Abstract

This paper presents the analytical development of a wave equation for real, rapidly altering fields in linear, electromagnetically-coupled materials. Giving consideration to phenomenology, crystal color symmetry and the laws of Ampere and Faraday, the analysis is applied to an orthorhombic single-crystal, linear ferroelectromagnet. The results of the analysis are discussed with an emphasis on the influence of the magnetoelectric coupling coefficient on the velocity expression obtained for electromagnetic plane waves. The implications of the expressions to modulated optical properties and the use of electromagnetically-coupled materials are discussed.
