Abstract
Propagation of the electromagnetic wave in a symmetrical structure of two identical parallel guides coupled via a chiral medium is investigated using the coupled mode method. It is found that the chirality causes periodic transfer of energy between guides. Possible applications of the effects observed in the structure to the construction of depolarizers, polarimeters, diplexers, frequency meters, frequency/amplitude converters, sensors, switches, and modulators is discussed.
