Abstract: We consider a dark sector model where a dark fermion couples to photons via an extra U(1) mediator and can couple to the mediator with parity violation. We derived a low energy effective Lagrangian including a parity violated term for light-by-light scattering by integrating out the dark fermion. Our focus lies on Vacuum Magnetic Birefringence Experiment to probe the dark sector. We propose the ring resonator (3-4 mirrors) with an appropriate polarization state of light in stead of a usual Fabry-Perot resonator (2 mirrors) with a conventional polarization state of light to measure the Parity violated term. We assume that a dark neutrino is a dark fermion, i.e. V-A current, and give constraints on model parameters from a current experimental limit.
