We investigate the influence of chirality on the $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric and $\mathcal{PT}$-broken phase of $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric chiral systems. Starting from the point that transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) waves have different exceptional points, we show that with circularly polarized waves (which are linear combinations of TM and TE waves) mixed …
