Plane Wave Reflection from a Uniaxial Chiral Quarter-Wave PolarizationTransformer

摘要

A uniaxial chiral slab is shown to have applications as a polarizationtransformer by choosing the thickness of the slab and the material parameters properly. The slab transforms linear polarization to any elliptic polarization by rotating the slab. The reflection coefficients for the slab are calculated numerically and the results show us that by choosing the material parameters properly the reflection from the slab can be minimized. This is very important for practical applications of the chiral quarter-wave polarization transformer.
