Modes of Dielectric Waveguides of Arbitrary Cross-Sectional Shape

摘要

An integral representation technique is presented for determining the modal propagation properties of a homogeneous cylindrical dielectric waveguide of arbitrary cross-sectional shape and index n1 embedded in a medium of index n2. Results are given for weakly guiding fibers of various shapes. Among these are rectangles and ellipses, which makes comparisons with previous work possible. (Author)
