title: Defect modes in a periodic structure with chiral layers.
abstract: A periodic sequence of pairs of isotropic and chiral layers with a defect in the mth period is investigated. The problem is solved using the 2x2-block-representation transfer-matrix formulation. A method that simultaneously allows taking into account different types of defects in the structure is proposed. Analysis of the dynamics of the electromagnetic properties of the investigated structure is carried out for different types of defects.
