Abstract

Chiral nihility media are known to produce two polarizations, yielding negative refraction at the free space-chiral nihility medium boundary. The electromagnetic wave reflection and transmission from a chiral nihility slab have been theoretically studied in this paper. This study has been done for both a linearly and a circularly polarized waves that is obliquely incident on a chiral nihility slab from the free space region. Since the relative permittivity and the permeability values are very small, the wave impedance of chiral nihility slab is automatically matched to that of free space. It is seen that total reflection and total transmission exist that cover a wide range of incident angles. Chiral nihility slab can be used to get a circularly polarized wave from linear polarization. The results are compatible with the previous study in literature..
