30. The resistivities themselves are highly temperature and frequency dependent and their ratios are determined by additional factors than the underlying quasi-two-dimensionality. However, since they are linear functions of temperature at high temperatures, the ratio of their slopes above room temperature provides a roughly temperature-independent estimate of the anisotropy.
31. We refrain from trying to make precise numerical estimates, because our focus here is the symmetry-based understanding of the gyrotropic Kerr effect as well as the realization that any phenomenological model that we use is likely to be an oversimplified picture of the cuprates.
