This structure is based on anisotropic metamaterial having an optical activity induced by the special geometry of the pattern and the incident beam. Starting from a non-chiral material, the artificial chirality is obtained thanks to the rectangular apertures which form the periodic perfect metal nanostructure （one layer） and the oblique incidence of the light beam. An extraordinary light transmission （93%） through the metal nanostructure is achieved by exciting the cavity modes. The extrinsic chirality obtained can be granted to the desired value by appropriately adjusting the geometric parameters and the angle of incidence.展开更多
