摘要

We propose a kind of planar chiral optical metamaterial consisting of two layers of connected I-shape resonators arranged by a twist angle of 90 degrees. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that our scheme can realize a mutual polarization conversion and dual-band asymmetric transmission for linearly polarized waves in the optical regime. For the forward propagation, the x-to-y and y-to-x polarization conversions in the proposed bilayered metamaterial result from the concentric and eccentric C-shaped dimers, respectively. The current distributions of bilayered metamaterials at the resonant frequencies are presented to interpret the dual-band asymmetric transmission. The polarization conversion efficiency and resonant frequencies can be modified via parametric study.
