Abstract
The problem of the polarized light propagation in an optically homogeneous anisotropic medium with spatially modulated gyrotropy is considered. The analysis was carried out using a numerical solution of a system of coupled equations obtained in the approximation of geometric optics. For illustrative purposes, the results of numerical analysis are also presented on the Poincare sphere. The resonance character of the dependence of the amplitude of polarization beats as a function of the spatial frequency of gyrotropy modulation is shown.
