In order to clarify how the factor of loss affects the asymmetric transmission, Z. Li, M. Gokkavas, and E. Ozbay studied a typical planar chiral structure by using an optical lumped element model. On page 482, they found that the anisotropy of loss, instead of the whole loss, plays a crucial role for achieving asymmetric transmission. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
