Supermodes in Coupled Bigyrotropic Slab Waveguides

We consider a system of two coupled magneto-optical single-mode slab waveguides separated by an isotropic dielectric spacer. In the transverse magneto-optical configuration, the TE/TM states of polarization can be handled separately. The even/odd supermodes are derived in much the same way as in similar non-magnetic coupled systems; perfect phase-matching ensures a total transfer of energy from on...
