Left/right asymmetry in reflection and transmission by a planar anisotropic dielectric slab with topologically insulating surface states

Left/right asymmetry in reflection and transmission by a planar anisotropic dielectric slab with... Abstract. The reflection and transmission of plane waves by a homogeneous anisotropic dielectric slab—as represented by a columnar thin film—with topologically insulating surface states was theoretically investigated. Copolarized and cross-polarized reflectances and transmittances were calculated by solving the associated boundary-value problem. Numerical calculations revealed that all four reflectances and all four transmittances were asymmetric with respect to reversal of projection of the propagation direction of the incident plane wave on the illuminated surface of the slab. This left/right reflection and transmission asymmetry arises due to the combined effects of the slab’s anisotropy and surface states. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Nanophotonics SPIE
