In this second paper on the propagation of a time-dependent electromagnetic pulse in a homogeneous isotropic chiral slab, we consider a pulse incident at any angle. We introduce the notions of local time and of local boundary conditions. Then, using the Laplace transform with respect to the local time we obtain an analytical expression for the pulses reflected and refracted by the slab.
