Plane-wave reflection from double arrays of small magnetoelectric scatterers

An analytical model of reflection and transmission of plane waves in double regular arrays of bianisotropic particles is developed. A method to correct approximate values of the particle polarizabilities so that the energy conservation requirements are exactly satisfied is proposed. Double arrays of planar omega particles are studied in detail, and it is shown that very sharp Bragg resonances exist in such arrays. The theory is verified by comparison with numerical simulations based on the method of moments.
