Abstract

Description

We elucidate the physical mechanisms by which electromagnetic excitations in planar chiral waveguides exhibit broken time reversal and parity symmetries as recently observed in metallic nanostructures (Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 247404 (2003)). Furthermore, we show that concomitant with these broken symmetries the electromagnetic excitations can acquire fractional winding numbers, revealing analogies between light scattering from planar nanostructures and anyon matter.
Broken P-symmetry is now included into consideration
