A technique of magnetized plasma simulation have been implemented into a well known FDTD solver MEEP as a child class of "susceptibility" class. Magnetized plasma posses gyrotrophic properties, polarization vector is being rotated while the wave propagates through the material. Solid state plasma can be found in semiconductor materials which rises a question of using gyrotrophic properties of plasma in modern photonic development. To test the software, a circular polarized wave propagation through 9mm layer of magnetized plasma has been simulated and compared to the analytical solution.
