Optical properties of gyrotropic polygonal chiral thin films

Abstract: The optical response of gyrotropic and non-gyrotropic dielectric polygonal chiral thin films were investigated using transfer matrix method. The influence of gyrotropy factor, porosity and incident angle of light on Bragg regimes, selective reflection and transmission were reported. The results revealed that the Fabry-Perot oscillations were affected by gyrotropy factor and porosity of polygonal chiral thin films.
