Abstract: The optical chirality of two axially propagating electromagnetic waves is investigated. These two waves of different nature are in counter-rotations, thereby being non-plane waves. From the resulting spatial distributions of energy and chirality, we find not only enhancements but also cancellations due to the interferences in these hybrid waves. In addition, the roles of the axial wave number and interference phase are illustrated by introducing a proper figure of merit for relevant device performances.
