(color online) ((a) and (c))Simulated zero-order transmission amplitudes |txx| and |tyx| for two kinds of chiral metamaterials. The insets in panels (a) and (c) show the sketch maps of the corresponding unit cell. The corresponding linear/circularly polarized conversions |tRCPx| and |tLCPx| are displayed in panels (b) and (d), respectively. The insets in panels (b) and (d) show the corresponding CDR.
