Electromagnetic chirality-induced negative refraction with the same amplitude and anti-phase of the two chirality coefficients

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/20/6/067802

Abstract This paper suggests a scheme of electromagnetic chirality-induced negative refraction utilizing magneto-electric cross coupling in a four-level atomic system. The negative refraction can be achieved with the two chirality coefficients having the same amplitude but the opposite phase, without requiring the simultaneous presence of an electric-dipole and a magnetic-dipole transition near the same transition frequency.

Keywords: electromagnetic chirality negative refraction same amplitude and anti-phase chirality coefficients
