Abstract

Reflection from a planar DB interface placed in chiral and chiral nihility medium is studied. No difference between the two cases, regarding reflection chracteristics, is noted. No reflected backward wave is produced for DB interface placed in chiral nihility metamaterial. In this regard, DB interface may be considered as first known perfect reflector interface which yields non zero power when placed in chiral nihility medium.
