Optical Waveguide Analysis

This in-depth,self-contained introduction to optical waveguide analysis,will be of great use to engineers and researchers in all fields using guided-wave optics—from fiber optics communication to integrated optical electronics. Part one examines various analytic approximation methods for three-layer optical dielectric waveguides,uniform core optical fiber,and 2-D and 3-D optical waveguides. Part two details the finite-element method—a numerical technique for cases in which approximation methods are inadequate. Numerous illustrative examples demonstrate the analysis of 2-D and 3-D optical waveguides,axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric optical fibers,and nonlinear optical waveguides.
