Abstract :
A systematic approach to synthesize devices for different polarization-related operations is developed. The method can be used to find the required polarizabilities of a bianisotropic scatterer so that an array of such particles would perform any wanted polarization transformation of plane waves. The method is applied to develop a novel twist polarizer. The resulting design is verified with numerical simulations.
