S. Ganguly et al., MODAL CUTOFF CONDITIONS FOR A CHIROWAVEGUIDE WITH A CHIRAL CORE OF LARGE ANNULAR CROSS-SECTION BOUNDED BY DIELECTRIC MEDIA, Microwave and optical technology letters, 8(1), 1995, pp. 18-21
A chirowaveguide with an annular cross section where the chiral region
is bounded by dielectric media has been analytically studied for cuto
ff conditions. The annular guiding region can be looked upon as a bent
slab waveguide with a circular curvature. The origin of this curvatur
e may be deliberate or the result of warping due to fabricating defect
s. The effect of changing chiral admittance on the cutoff conditions i
s also discussed. (C) 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
