Abstract: | WKB analysis of graded-index anisotropic optical waveguides is briefly presented. The angular dependencies of the propagation characteristics of both guided and semileaky modes are calculated numerically for the out-diffused and in-diffused LiNbO3 waveguides with parabolic index profile. The results for the out-diffused waveguide are compared with those obtained from the rigorous theory and the applicability of the WKG method is discussed for semileaky mode loss calculations. The angular dependence of the propagation constants of a TiO2-diffused LiNbO3 waveguide is demonstrated experimentally, too. |
