Realization of natural like and strong chirality by using π shaped resonators

In this thesis, asymmetric transmission, natural chirality phenomena and retrieval study with chiral metamaterials (MTMs) are numerically and experimentally focused, investigated and discussed by examining the polarization conversion effect. Suggested multi-functional designs have very simple geometries (pi-shaped), low losses and huge optical activities. In addition, these new designs are numerically and experimentally retrieved. The proposed models have many advantages when compared with the asymmetric transmission and chiral MTM studies in literature. These advantages are having very simple geometries (pi-shaped), large asymmetric transmissions, small chirality like natural materials, and also huge chirality as desired in mechanical tunability. Besides, the proposed structures can be easily reconfigured for other frequency regimes to get new chiral MTMs or different application areas varying from defense systems to stealth technology which will be examined in our future studies.
