The parallel-plate waveguide partially filled with chiral negative refractive index medium
The features of electromagnetic guided waves in the parallel-plate waveguide partially filled with chiral negative refractive index medium are investigated. The formulas of electromagnetic fields of guided modes are given and the modal characteristic equation is derived. The dispersion curves, power curves and power flow distributions of guided modes are presented by numerical computation. The effects of thickness of negative refractive index chiral slab and chirality parameter are discussed. Some exotic properties are found, such as existence of surface wave mode, backward wave with opposite power flow to wave phase propagation, energy store, three propagation constants, mode intersection. In addition, forbidden band of electromagnetic wave propagation is found in this waveguide.
