TLDR
In this article, the theory of dielectric waveguides is discussed and a discussion of the fabrication of planar waveguide structures is presented, even though most of the fundamentals are applicable to all waveguide types.Abstract:
Dielectric waveguides are the structures that are used to confine and guide the light in the guided-wave devices and circuits of integrated optics. This chapter is devoted to the theory of these waveguides. Other chapters of this book discuss their fabrication by such techniques as sputtering, diffusion, ion implantation or epitaxial growth. A well-known dielectric waveguide is, of course, the optical fiber which usually has a circular cross-section. In contrast, the guides of interest to integrated optics are usually planar structures such as planar films or strips. Our discussion will focus on these planar guides even though most of the fundamentals are applicable to all dielectric waveguide types.read more
