Abstract

This brief final chapter is the second of the two chapters describing the theory of optical planar circuits. The objective of the analysis is somewhat special in this chapter: optical planar circuits having stripelike waveguiding structures. The analysis methods have not been well developed in this area. Only the beam-propagation method (BPM) is described as an approach particularly suited to the analysis of such circuits. The light-guiding behavior of a tapered waveguide and a Y-junction circuit are calculated as examples.
