Abstract :
Summary form only given. Metallic bilayered structures with chirality and inductive coupling are predicted to show huge optical polarization rotatory power resembling that of liquid crystals. The semi-chiral planar gratings described here belong to a distinctively different class of 2D structures known as planar chiral structures.
