Abstract
A general theoretical approach to the electromagnetics of isotropic chiral media is presented. An electromagnetic field representation in terms of scalar Hertz potentials is obtained. The validity of this representation encompasses inhomogeneous media where the constitutive parameters of the chiral structures - permittivity, permeability and chirality - are functions of one coordinate. In the homogeneous case the corresponding electric and magnetic scalar Green's functions are calculated analytically thus constituting the field solution for dipole sources.Keywords
