Popis:	We showed through experiments that the magnetochiral index is polarization invariant and reported its wavelength dependence. These properties were investigated with limonene and using a specially-designed Ar{sup +}-ring active interferometer. A Fresnel drag-type optical bias inside the discharge tube, combined with two calibrations and the circumvention of systematic errors, allowed us to reach a detection level in the range of 10{sup -12} when measuring the change in the magnetochiral index of intracavity liquid samples. Our results are in agreement with the different predictions made for magnetochiral refraction.
