Abstract

This paper presents a general analysis of reflection and transmission coefficients of multiple chiral layers in detail. Reflection and transmission coefficients through multiple chiral layers are computed and presented particularly for the incident wave of parallel polarization for a number of cases-a wide range of incidence angle, neighboring center frequency and different chirality parameters. Transfer matrix method is used in the analysis. From the numerical results, it can be seen that multiple chiral layers may be used as a polarization-conversion transmission filter and antireflection filter at the frequency band around the central frequency.
