It is shown that all modes of these waveguides are cicularly polarised and are divided into two classes : with right- and left-handed circular polarisation . Modes of one class , which one depends on the sign of the chiral parameter of the waveguiding layer , can exist only in a limited interval of frequencies , so they have cut-offs both in lower and upper
parts of friequency range . Thus chiral waveguides can be signlepolarising not only in lower part of spectrum ( in singlemode operating regime ) but also in upper part of spectrum ( in multimode operating regime ) .
