Reversed Circular Dichroism of Isotropic Chiral Mediums with Negative Real Permeability and Permittivity
نویسنده
چکیده
Negative real parts of the permittivity and permeability lead an isotropic chiral medium to exhibit circular dichroism that is reversed with respect to that exhibited by an identical medium but the real parts of whose permittivity and permeability are positive.

A New Condition to Identify Isotropic Dielectric–magnetic Materials Displaying Negative Phase Velocity
Non–dissipative mediums with both simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability were first investigated by Veselago [1] in 1968. These mediums support electromagnetic wave propagation in which the phase velocity is antiparallel to the direction of energy flow, and other unusual electromagnetic effects such as the reversal of the Doppler effect and Cerenkov radiation. After the publicati...
متن کاملSimultaneous Negative– and Positive–phase–velocity Propagation in an Isotropic Chiral Medium
The phase velocity of plane waves propagating in an isotropic chiral medium can be simultaneously positive for left–circularly polarized light and negative for right–circularly polarized light (or vice versa). The constitutive parameter regimes supporting this phenomenon are established for nondissipative and dissipative mediums. The boundary between positive and negative phase velocity is char...
متن کاملBi-layer cross chiral structure with strong optical activity and negative refractive index.
The properties of periodic pairs of mutually twisted metallic (silver) crosses separated by dielectric layer have been investigated by numerical simulation. The results show that the exceptionally strong polarization rotation and circular dichroism, negative permeability and negative refractive index are found at the infrared communication wavelength (1.55 microm).
متن کاملPlane waves with negative phase velocity in Faraday chiral mediums.
The propagation of plane waves in a Faraday chiral medium is investigated. Conditions for the phase velocity to be directed opposite to the direction of power flow are derived for propagation in an arbitrary direction; simplified conditions which apply to propagation parallel to the distinguished axis are also established. These negative phase-velocity conditions are explored numerically using ...
متن کاملNegative Phase Velocity in Isotropic Dielectric–magnetic Mediums via Homogenization
ABSTRACT: We report on a strategy for achieving negative phase velocity (NPV) in a homogenized composite medium (HCM) conceptualized using the Bruggeman formalism. The constituent material phases of the HCM do not support NPV propagation. The HCM and its constituent phases are isotropic dielectric–magnetic mediums; the real parts of their permittivities/permeabilities are negative–valued wherea...
