    "abstract": "We study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a chiral fluid, where\nthe molecules are described by a simplified version of the Kuhn coupled\noscillator model. The eigenmodes of Maxwell\u0027s equations are circularly\npolarized waves. The application of a static magnetic field further leads to a\nmagnetochiral term in the index of refraction of the fluid, which is\nindependent of the wave polarization. A similar result holds when absorption is\ntaken into account. Interference experiments and photochemical reactions have\nrecently demonstrated the existence of the magnetochiral term. The comparison\nwith Faraday rotation in an achiral fluid emphasizes the different symmetry\nproperties of the two effects.",
