Abstract :
In this contribution we study the polarizing capabilities of multilayer structures loaded with birefringent negative indexed materials (BNIM), naturally occurring at optical frequencies. To this end, we have developed a general formulation valid for any characteristic property of birefringent media. Numerical results together with some remarks about possible practical implementations of the proposed components are also given.
