Propagation Behavior Studies on Elliptically Polarized Wave within Chiral Negative Refraction Mediums

Abstract

According to elementary transmission theories of electromagnetic wave and constitutive relation of mediums, the propagation behaviors are analyzed theoretically and numerically in detail when the elliptically polarized wave is incident upon the surface of a chiral negative refraction medium. The change rules of flux density of reflection and refraction with incident angle are given, which have distinct difference with conventional medium. It is also found that the left and right circularly polarized electromagnetic wave components have different propagation behaviors with the chiral negative refraction medium.
