Polarization Properties of Chiral Core Planar Waveguides

Abstract

A new form for the modal eigenvalue equations of chiral-core planar waveguides provides insight into the transition, with increasing chirality, from TE/TM (transverse electric/magnetic) modes in the archiral ease to nearly right-handed and left-handed circularly polarized modes. Dramatic variation of the polarization eccentricity with thickness and frequency is discussed.
