4th International Electromagnetic Compatibility Conference (EMC Turkiye), Ankara, Türkiye, 24 - 27 Eylül 2017, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
We present computational analysis of optical chiral metamaterials that consist of helical metallic elements. At optical frequencies, metals are modeled as penetrable objects with plasmonic properties. A rigorous implementation based on boundary element methods and the multilevel fast multipole algorithm is used for efficient and accurate analysis of three-dimensional structures. Numerical results demonstrate interesting polarization-rotating characteristics of such arrays with helical elements, as well as their complex responses depending on geometric parameters.
