Forward- and backward-propagating Cerenkov radiation in strong chiral media.
The mathematical solution for Cerenkov radiation (CR) in lossless chiral media, which has the strong chiral parameters, is introduced in this paper. We reveal unique behavior for the CR in strong chiral medium under different particle-velocity regimes. Within one particle-velocity range, a radiation pattern with double cone of propagation can be expected, and the radiation is associated with forward and backward directions of emission.
