In the present paper, the expressions for scalar and vector potentials in lossless isotropic chiral media are analyzed. Propagating eigenvalues of these potentials are then obtained. Furthermore by decomposition of sources and fields in a chiral medium, we introduce the auxiliary right-and left-handed potentials and find the associated fields. These potentials are used to solve the problem of a...

The problem of unbounded uniaxial chiral omega media in the presence of both static electric and magnetic point charges is investigated. For this purpose scalar electric and magnetic potentials in these media are introduced. Using these potentials, the corresponding electric and magnetic fields are determined. The similar problem of static electric and magnetic current sources with the goal of ...

We report that planar chiral structures affect the polarization state of light in a manner similar to three-dimensional chiral (optical active) media. In experiments with artificial metal-on-silicon chiral planar gratings of 442 wallpaper group symmetry, containing millions of chiral elements per square centimeter, we observed rotation of the polarization azimuth in excess of 30 degrees of ligh...

Using the Condon model to describe the dispersive behavior of optically active media, we analyze two different classes of waves in chiral optical fibers: surface and semileaky modes. Only when the cladding is chiral, semileaky modes do exist; accordingly, optical fibers with either chiral or achiral cores, but always with a chiral cladding, are considered. Two fundamental modes, corresponding t...

Optical activity in 3D-chiral media in the form of circular dichroism and birefringence is a fundamental phenomenon that serves as evidence of life forms and is widely used in spectroscopy. Even in 3D-chiral media exhibiting strong transmission optical activity, the reflective effect is weak and sometimes undetectable. Here we report that specular optical activity at structured interfaces can b...

an efficient one-pot three-component procedure for the synthesis of new chiral spiro-oxindolopyrrolizidines with highly regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselective from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides and optically pure active cinamoyl oxazolidinone are described. the process occurs at room temperature in aqueous ethanol as green solvent and in the absence of any bidentate chelating...

The reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves obliquely incident on a uniaxial chiral slab with the optical axis perpendicular to the interface have been investigated. Firstly, the formulas of the reflection and transmission are derived. Then numerical results for four cases of the uniaxial chiral media are presented and different chiral parameters are considered. Finally, the Brewst...

This paper presents a modal analysis of a uniaxial grounded chiroslabguide. A dispersion model with a single resonance is used to describe the physical properties of the chiral uniaxial medium. We show that proper leaky modes can propagate regardless of the sign (positive or negative) of the medium’s parameters. Furthermore, proper leaky modes can also occur as a consequence of electromagnetic ...

Abstract Chiral dielectrics are considered from the perspective of continuum representations of spatial heterogeneity. Static effects in isotropic chiral dielectrics are predicted, provided the electric field has nonzero third spatial derivatives. The effects are compared with static chiral phenomena in Cosser...

In this paper we will present a brief overview of electromagnetic properties of the media with negative permittivity and permeability, and then we will discuss some ideas about possible applications of these materials. In this work we discuss the chiral waves in metamaterial media. Here we study the conditions for strong chirality which can give situations of chiral metamaterial and we propose ...
