Normal Waves in an Electromagnetic Metachiral Isotropic Medium with Losses

  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Electromagnetic plane waves in an isotropic absorbing chiral medium (chiral metamaterial) are considered. The Drude–Born–Fёdorov system of constitutive equations with complex values of the permittivity, the permeability, and the chirality parameter is applied. The difference between forward and backward normal waves is delineated by the introduction of a special parameter – the wave type identifier. Analytical expressions for the real and imaginary parts of the wave numbers of homogeneous normal waves are presented.
