IP Type:		Licensable Technology
Title:		Plane Polarized Light Interactions
Inventor:		Alkim Akyurtlu
Summary:		This invention describes simulation results validated by experiments on real devices that are comprised of novel repeating chiral structures of varying shapes and dimensions and made from conducting metals periodically arrayed upon a dielectric background. These chiral metamaterials possess many interesting properties including a negative index of refraction, which leads to fascinating phenomena such as the reversal of the Doppler Effect and Snell’s Law upon interacting with plane polarized light in various frequency ranges.
