Abstract

The fractional dual solutions of Maxwell equations in bi-isotropic medium are determined using the field decomposition approach. Both negative phase velocity and positive phase velocity propagation have been considered. The results are compared with the corresponding available results for isotropic and chiral medium. Time average power associated with fractional dual fields and corresponding source distribution are also studied.
