Diseño de medios quirales basados en la distribución ordenada de manivelas

Abstract

In this communication, the experimental results obtained from the measurements of evenly distributed metallic cranks on a dielectric plate substrate is presented. The effect we have analyzed is the rotation of the polarization plane of an electromagnetic wave, both in free space and inside a circular waveguide. It is shown that the rotation of the polarization plane by some distributions of cranks, with specific symmetry properties, can be explicitly ascribed to a chirality effect.
