  • A mid-infrared chiral metamaterial was designed to overcome the problems of large volume and high cost of traditional mid-infrared laser polarization state controls, The fan-shaped chiral structure material made of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) was designed and its Circular Dichroism (CD) characteristics in the mid-infrared band were studied. The CD variation characteristics of the structure were discussed by changing the filling material, the thickness, the size, the number, and the material of fan blades. The simulation results show that when the filling material is silicon and the number of fan blade is six, the strongest CD signal of 0.052 is obtained near the wavelength of 5.3 μm by selecting the appropriate fan thickness and size. Moreover, compared with the silver and gold, the structure made of ITO exhibits broadband circular dichroism, which provides a new idea for the design of broadband polarization-state control devices in the mid-infrared band.
