Vector Circuit Method for Calculating Reflection and Transmission of Electromagnetic Waves in Multilayer Chiral Structures

摘要

The paper explores reflection and transmission characteristics of single and multilayer chiral slabs. The analysis is based on the vector circuit modeling of chiral slabs in terms of transverse fields, dyadic impedance, admittance or transmission matrix components. Reflection and transmission coefficients for arbitrary angles of incidence and arbitrary polarization states of the fields are derived. Using these and to exemplify the method, reflected and transmitted fields of the co- and cross-polarized waves are calculated in single and multilayer chiral slabs for various electromagnetic and geometrical parameter values.
