Stratification methods in waveguiding structures
Abstract
Stratification methods to solve waveguidance problems in planar and circular structures are presented. They are based on the approximation of the actual index profile of the guide by means of a wide class of analytically solvable curves (quartic profiles for circular fibers; quartic, Epstein and linear profiles for planar guides). The method permits to deduce accurately the propagtion characteristics in the least computing time, particularly for guides with non-monotonic index profiles.
