  How can I model a material with a dispersive chirality parameter ? This is possible ?

  Hi,
  
  You cannot do that directly (ie. ORD for example cannot be set in the software). However, you can set a circular polarization for your input wave and you can define dispersive anisotropic coefficients for materials. You should be able to simulate what you want, but please note that you will only be able to use diagonal elements of the dielectric tensor.
  
  If you send me more details about what you need to simulate, I can try to see if this works.
  
  Best regards

  Thanks Aurelien,
  
  What I want to simulate is a material with a constitutive relation given by: D = eps.E – i.K.c.H, where eps is the permittivity, i is the imaginary constant, c is sqrt(eps.mu), E is the electric field, H is the magnetic field and K is the chiral parameter. Both eps and K are dispersive.
  
  Best Regards

  Unfortunately you won’t be able to use this formulation with our software. You can only manipulate the epsilon tensor to some extent.
