Propagation through chiroplasma waveguide using perfect magnetic conductor boundary conditions

Abstract

Analysis of electromagnetic wave propagations in a cylindrical waveguide filled with a chiroplasma core coated with a perfect magnetic conductor is presented. The presented analysis and formulations is generalized for any general isotropic or anisotropic material, including plasma and metamaterials. The characteristic equations are obtained and the behavior of its characteristic curves and the energy flux are examined and evaluated numerically. The obtained results show that the behavior of the energy flux transported in the guide, in magnitude and orientation, is highly affected by the chirality parameter and the plasma and cyclotron frequencies. The mode cut-off frequencies and transported energies are sensitive to the variations in the material parameters, particularly the variations in the chirality parameter.
