Abstract
The spectral index method is applied to closely coupled rib waveguides. Analytical expressions in terms of the propagation constant β are given for symmetric and antisymmetric polarised modes. The calculated coupling lengths are in excellent agreement with those obtained by mainframe programs.

Planar waveguide analysis by the spectral index method. I: Rib and uniformly buried waveguides

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral index method for solving general planar waveguiding problems is analyzed. But the solution is so fast that the method can be used as a subroutine, making it possible to solve many two-dimensional problems fully, even for coupled rib waveguides, without using effective index approximations.
