Abstract

We discuss the coupling properties in isotropic chiral waveguides. By using Lorentz reciprocity theorem, we obtain a set of coupled linear equations for left- and right-circularly components in isotropic chiral waveguides. From the equations, the light propagation properties in chiral waveguides are obtained. The numerical results show that all the energy in one chiral waveguide can be completely converted into another at special position in coupling region. The energy coupling between two chiral waveguides can be use to design novel optical devices.
