A racemic approach to left-handed media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

It is established theoretically that racemic substances characterized by isomers with strong optical rotatory power are capable of producing negative refraction and focusing of arbitrarily polarized waves. A slab of such racemic material, while not chiral, acts just like Veselago’s hypothetical left-handed media slab, providing subwavelength resolution as Pendry’s ideal lens does and opening an avenue for optical and IR realizations. RF-microwave implementations in random and lattice fashion are also proposed.
