In this paper, light propagation through a tapered gradient-index medium with a zone plate located at the input of the medium for non-uniform and uniform illumination is studied.
Abstract
Light propagation through a tapered gradient-index medium with a zone plate located at the input of the medium for non-uniform and uniform illumination is studied. Evolution of the beam half-width of the zone plate diffraction orders and an analogy with the conventional lens imaging formula are presented. A particular case is analysed.

Inhomogeneous optical waveguides

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a method for the fabrication of planar waveguides with continuous dielectric constant variation. But they do not consider the propagation of the waveguide through thin films.
