Abstract

A dispersion equation is derived for a cylindrical waveguide of circular cross-section partially filled with chiroplasma. The propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves in the family of waveguide modes are studied. The dispersion curves are given. It is found that the propagation constant changes almost linearly with the chirality admittance for the parameters that we choose, and increases with increasing filled area.
