In [1] a quaternionic reformulation of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations for chiral media was proposed and used in [2] in order to construct complete systems of quaternionic fundamental solutions convenient for numerical analysis of scattering boundary value problems. In the present contribution we give a quaternionic reformulation of time-dependent Maxwell's equations for chiral media. The Maxwell system is written as a single quaternionic equation. We obtain a fundamental solution of this equation and use it for solving Maxwell's system with sources. This is a joint work with V. V. Kravchenko. [1] Khmelnytskaya, K. V., Kravchenko, V. V. and H.
