We study the optical properties of bi-chiral plasmonic nanostructures using the Discontinuous Galerkin Time Domain method [1], utilizing its advantages in the description of nanostructures with complex shapes. We simulate experimental measurements of transmission spectra of silver helix structures presented in [2]. Our numerical results reproduce the phenomenon of selective transmission of different circular polarizations well and qualitatively agree with the experiment for all types handednesses of bi-chiral crystals. The numerical analysis of the near fields provides information towards an understanding of the effects.
