Abstract

Finite-clad Bragg-reflection waveguides are analyzed by a leaky-wave approach. The eigenvalue equation for TE and TM propagation is derived, and approximate expressions are given for the loss coefficient. Proper design of these structures is shown to lead to high polarization discrimination.
