“…Here, the phase in the exponential term
is called the interference phase. According to the generalized theory of waveguide invariance presented in [
9], the mode wave number difference
can be approximated as:
where
, is a constant which depends upon mode order and waveguide model. In the range of
, where K is a positive integer, ω 0 is the initial frequency,
is the frequency resolution, and
is the bandwidth.…”
