Optical Waveguide Analysis

Designed for engineers and researchers, this book starts off by examining various analytic approximation methods for three-layer dielectric waveguides, uniform core optical fibre, and 2-D and 3-D optical waveguides. It then details the finite-element method - a numerical technique for cases in which approximate methods are inadequate. Illustrative examples deonstrate the analysis of 2-D and 3-D optical waveguides, axisymmetic and non-axisymmetric optical fibres, and non-linear optical waveguides."
