Gallium chiral nanoshaping for circular polarization handling

Optical planar chiral metamaterial designs for strong circular dichroism and polarization rotation.

Planar chiral metamaterials comprising double-layer dielectricmetal- dielectric resonant structures in the shape of a gammadion are presented in the near-infrared regime. The unit cell of the doubly-periodic metamaterial design is optimized using the genetic algorithm for maximum circular dichroism and for maximum optical activity. A circular dichroism value in excess of 50% is predicted for th...

A New Circular Polarization Metamaterial Ferrite Phase Shifter

In this paper, a new X band Metamaterial (MTM) based ferrite phase shifter is presented. The phase shifter is excited by circular polarized wave base on combination of TE10 and TE01 modes in a square waveguide. In order to synthesize negative refractive index metamaterial (NIM), negative permeability of ferrite slabs in extraordinary mode is mixed with the negative permitivity of printed period...

Suspended Hexagonal Microstrip Antennas for Circular Polarization

Suspended hexagonal microstrip antenna with a single coaxial feed has been proposed for circular polarization. The configuration has been realized by inserting perturbations along two opposite sides of the suspended hexagonal microstrip antenna. The broad bandwidth of 70 MHz has been obtained corresponding to VSWR < 2 and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 16.2 MHz has been achieved for the suspende...

Frequency-dependent circular-polarization of terahertz chiral spoof surface plasmon polariton on helically grooved metallic wire

Chiral spoof surface plasmon polaritons in the terahertz region, resulting from a coherent superposition of TM and HE modes, can be generated by normally exciting helically corrugated metal wire with a linearly polarized Gaussian light. The handedness of the chiral SPP depends on the handedness of the helical groove. The chirality of the surface wave causes a spiral spatial extent of average po...
