Description
We study, semiquantitatively, the optical properties of phases that violate time-reversal symmetry (T) and parity (P). We assume that the TP-violating order parameters have alternating signs in different planes. The rotation angle of linearly polarized light upon reflection is found to be of order 10-5--10-4. We also find that the transmission experiments are unable to probe the antiferromagnetic ordered TP-violating order parameter
