Abstract
The reflection of a normally incident plane wave due to the interface between vacuum and a Faraday chiral medium (FCM) supported by a perfect electric conductor was rigorously derived. Numerical results strongly indicated that arbitrary polarization conversions are realizable from the incident plane wave to the reflected plane wave by properly choosing the constitutive parameters of the FCM.Keywords
