In the left column, we and wm are the complex harmonic electric and magnetic energy densities,22Inline graphic, Inline graphic is the Poynting vector, Pdiss is the dissipated power, Pscat is the scattered power, Pext = Pdiss + Pscat is the extinction power, and Iinc is the incident light intensity. In the right column, χe and χm are the complex harmonic electric and magnetic optical chirality densities,22Inline graphicInline graphicInline graphic, Inline graphic is the optical chirality flux, c is the speed of light, Ptot is the total power of the outgoing light, and pinc is the incident power density.
