Field displacement phenomenon in a rectangular waveguide containing a thin plate of /spl Omega/ medium

An analysis of the wave propagation in a rectangular waveguide containing pseudochiral /spl Omega/ slab is presented in this letter. Approximate continuity conditions modeling a thin /spl Omega/ plate are introduced to simplify the analysis. The problem Is solved by the mode-matching procedure. A notable field displacement phenomenon appearing in the guide owing the pseudochirality properties is studied. Another feature such as a weak perturbation of the dispersion characteristics of the isotropic guide by pseudochirality introduced into the medium is also discussed.
