Abstract

The mode conversion and the resonant absorption and amplification phenomena occurring in inhomogeneous chiral media are theoretically studied. Mode conversion is found to occur when the medium contains regions where at least one of the effective refractive indices corresponding to two circular polarizations vanishes. Resonant absorption and enhancement phenomena are useful for designing efficient absorbers and nonlinear photonic devices.
