ELECTROMAGNETIC-WAVES IN LAYERED GENERAL BIISOTROPIC STRUCTURES

The vector circuit theory developed for isotropic and chiral slabs and multilayered structures is generalized for biisotropic (non-reciprocal chiral) media slabs and multilayered structures. The theory appears to be similar to that used for reciprocal structures and enables one to study plane wave reflection and transmission for arbitrary polarized waves coming at oblique angles of incidence. The numerical examples clarify the combined effect of chirality and non-reciprocity of the media on reflection and transmission characteristics of biisotropic layers.
