The problem is to detect changes in an anisotropic medium from measurements of scattered electromagnetic waves. For the case of an isotropic medium, this problem was investigated by Colton and Kress where it was shown that the location of the eigenvalues of the electric far field operator determine a lower bound for a quantity of physical interest. In this paper we extend this investigation to include the case of anisotropic media. For the sake of simplicity, we restrict our attention to the case of orthotropic media since in this case we can reduce the problem to a scalar problem in two dimensions. Our aim is to establish three basic spectral properties of the (compact) magnetic far field operator \(F\) in terms of the refractive index \(N\) (which, due to anisotropy, is now a matrix). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0873.00024].
