linear inverse Faraday effect

This is an interesting experimenal paper. The inverse Faraday effect can be evoked by linearly polarized light under certain conditions. So far, circularly polarized light was required. The magnetization is even larger by a factor of 15 for linearly polarized light. It has to have a certain angle of incidence.
In the theoretical description, the old method with the cross product of electric fields is used:

E* x E

while Myron used the B(3) field produced by

B* x B.

The E field method was originally introduced ad hoc, while the B(3) field is derived from O(3) electrodynamics.
