You are making circular polarization much more complicated than it really is.Crystallography by
Let me quote from An Introduction to the Methods of optical
Donald Bloss. "If the path difference between the two waves emergent from ainterfere
crystal is lambda/4 (or any odd multiple of lamda/4) their vibrations
where they coincide in space and time, to produce resultant vibration vectors
of constant lengths but variable azimuths..." There is no need to invoke
handedness or corkscrew paths. ...

It is not difficult to configure an array of dipoles, yagi style, so that
the polarization angle is changed. Just a matter of geometry of conductors.
In stereo chemistry, stereoactive materials are classified as
configurational, geometric and conformational isomers which involve either
chirality (handedness, or non superimposability of a mirror-image) or
rotation of some part of a molecule round a double or single bond.
