Probing states with macroscopic circulations in magnetic photonic crystals

We predict that when light is reflected off a magnetic photonic crystal (MPC) there is a grazing component that is parallel to the surface; the magnitude of this component can be changed by an external field. The direction of this parallel component is reversed as the direction of the magnetization is reversed. This provides a way to probe states with macroscopic circulations inside the MPC.
