Abstract :
In this study, chiral metamaterial that creates strong optical activity and dynamical circular dichroism due to geometry of the structure (gammadion-bilayer cross-wires) is presented. It includes the gammadion with discontinuous bilayer cross wire patterned on opposite sides. The designed chiral metamaterial offers easier fabrication and more efficient result. Also, transmission and reflection coefficients, theta and chirality coefficient of the medium are independently analyzed. It provides strong and dynamical optical activity due to the high chirality. The experimental results match with the results of the numerical study.
