The asymmetric transmission of the linearly polarized waves at normal incidence through the lossy anisotropic chiral structure is demonstrated. The proposed chiral metamaterial structure is composed of bi-layered discontinuous cross-wire-strips, and it is utilized in order to realize polarization rotation. Firstly, the theoretical relations between the incident polarization and the polarization rotation are derived using transmission matrices. Secondly, a strong and dynamically asymmetric transmission of linearly polarized electromagnetic wave through the chiral metamaterial has been demonstrated for microwave region, both by simulation and experimentally. The experiment results are in good agreement with the simulation ones. It can be seen from the results that the proposed chiral metamaterial structure can be used to design novel polarization control devices for several frequency regions.

We examine quality factor and sensitivity change depending on the resonant wavelength changing refractive index of surrounding liquid for TiO2 photonic crystal slab structure. Photonic crystal slab structure is used widely for biological materials such as proteins, antigens, DNA, cells, virus particles and bacteria. Mentioned photonic crystal slabs are usable with large-area biosensor designs. They permit direct access to externally incident optical beams in a microuidic device. Model calculations are based on two-dimensional periodic crystal structure. Photonic crystal slab consists of a square lattice of air holes in a nite-thickness dielectric slab. The time domain simulations were implemented by software MIT Electromagnetic Equation Propagation.
