Abstract: | The general eigenequations and the field expressions for circular waveguides containing chiral material in both the core and the cladding are given in a simple formulation. The results indicate that there are two types of field distribution which is related to the operating wavelength and chiral admittance. When the chiral admittance is larger than a critical value, the fields of one kind of circularly polarized wave in the core become exponentially-like damping in the transverse direction. Based on the eigenequations, the characteristics of a circular waveguide with chiral medium filled in the core are investigated. The relation between the cutoff frequency and the chiral admittance, the dispersion curves for some modes with different angular mode number and the transverse distribution of fields are presented. Some features different from the ordinary circular waveguide are resulted. |
