Classification of hybrid modes in cylindrical dielectric optical waveguides

Abstract

The classification of hybrid modes in cylindrical dielectric waveguides consisting of two or three layers is studied. A new mode designation based upon the separation of the characteristic equation is introduced. That is, separate characteristic equations for HEnm and EHnm modes are derived. This new scheme covers dielectric rods, dielectric tubes, cladded optical fibers and any three‐layer structure in general. It is analytically shown that no crossover exists between HE and EH modes with the same order of azimuthal variation (n).

Analysis of Guided and Leaky Tm0n and Te0n Modes in Circular Dielectric Waveguide

“…In 1966, Kao [4] published a paper on the theory and practice of optical fiber for communication applications, which heralded the beginning of a new era in telecommunications. Investigation related to the guide modes has been well established even earlier than 1966 [5,6], whereas the leaky modes below cutoff frequency have been scarcely investigated. Yet, the leaky wave is useful in many antenna applications [7][8][9][10].…”

Fundamental guided electromagnetic dispersion characteristics in lossless dispersive metamaterial clad circular air-hole waveguides

“…Thus, to assign proper electric and magnetic fields in each region, allowed and forbidden regions for the guided modes should be considered and distinguished. Figure 3 respectively, allowing the axial electric and magnetic fields in each region to be expressed as follows according to the criteria in [28]. to have a principal mode, i.e., exhibit a monomode property.…”

Weakly Guiding Fibers and LP Modes in Circular and Elliptical Waveguides

“…Optical fibers (or waveguides) are important components of optical communication systems and information technology [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The aim of this paper is to describe LP modes in circular and elliptical waveguides.…”
