Reply to “Comments on “Transient electromagnetic field of dipole source in chiral medium” ” by A. Lakhtakia

Abstract

I acknowledge this comment [A. Lakhtakia, Int. J. Appl. Electromagn. Mech. 9(1) (1998), 89] and add that the original results [D. Cheng, Int. J. Appl. Electromagn. Mech. 8(2) (1997), 179], which treat the purely instantaneous response, are only useful for a chiral medium when it can be approximately considered to be nondispersive under certain specified conditions.
