Modes of optical waveguides
Open accessAbstract
A simple method is presented for finding the modes on those optical waveguides with a cladding refractive index that differs only slightly from the refractive index of the core. The method applies to waveguides of arbitrary refractive index profile, arbitrary number of propagating modes, and arbitrary cross section. The resulting modal fields and their progagation constants display the polarization properties of the waveguide contained within the ∇ ∊ term of the vector wave equation. Examples include modes on waveguides with circular symmetry and waveguides with two preferred axes of symmetry, e.g., an elliptical core. Only a minute amount of eccentricity is necessary for the well-known LP modes to be stable on an elliptical core, while the circle modes couple power among themselves.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
