“…Gyrotropic structures capable of guiding electromagnetic waves have been an important research topic for a long time because of many applications including, in particular, those related to the characteristics of electromagnetic waves in plasma waveguides [1][2][3], helicon waves in magnetized metals and semiconductors [4][5][6], waves in ferrites [7,8], modes of gyrotropic fibers [9,10], etc. The theory of excitation of closed waveguides filled with gyrotropic media has received much careful study, and there are many accounts of it (see, e.g., [11][12][13] and references therein).…”
