Abstract

The computation of the reflection/transmission coefficients from normally illuminated bianisotropic metamaterial slabs through a rigorous method is presented in this paper. The bianisotropic particles that compose finite slabs are approximated as electric and magnetic dipoles. Modeling these slabs as a succession of 2D arrays, the interaction of all dipoles is described via Green’s function series, for a given wave illumination on each array, and the excited dipole moments are obtained by the resulting linear system. Finally, the reflection/transmission coefficients are derived in terms of summing the scattering from the equivalent surfaces that comprise the slab. The new algorithm is applied to a bianisotropic and a complicated chiral particle, while all results are compared to numerically simulated ones.
