Scaling Rules for TM Modes in Thin–Film Optical Waveguides
Štefan Višˇnovský
Three-media planar dielectric nonmagnetic optical waveguides represent basic structures employed in integrated optics and sensing. The previously published scaling rules for transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes in these structures were characterized with different sets of parameters for TE and TM cases. The latter case which is more involved received less attention. The present work suggests an alternative approach where both TE and TM modes are characterized by the same s
