Abstract
We consider a multilayered metamaterial composed of anisotropic layers with in-plane anisotropy axes periodically rotated with respect to each other. Due to the breaking of inversion symmetry, the structure develops an effective chirality. We derive the effective chirality tensor of the metamaterial describing both normal and oblique incidence scenarios. We also identify the arrangement of the layers maximizing chiral response for the fixed lattice period, wavelength and anisotropy of the layers.
