Non-orthogonality and -dependence eccentricity of polarized electromagnetic waves in CPT-even Lorentz violation
We discuss the modified Maxwell action of a -type Lorentz symmetry
breaking theory and present a solution of Maxwell equations derived in the
cases of linear and elliptically polarized electromagnetic waves in the vacuum
of CPT-even Lorentz violation. We show in this case the Lorentz violation has
the effect of changing the amplitude of one component of the magnetic field,
while leaving the electric field unchanged, leading to non-orthogonal
propagation of eletromagnetic fields and dependence of the eccentricity on
-term. Further, we exhibit numerically the consequences of this effect
in the cases of linear and elliptical polarization, in particular, the regimes
of non-orthogonality of the electromagnetic wave fields and the eccentricity of
the elliptical polarization of the magnetic field with dependence on the
-term.Comment: 16 pages, 12 figure
