Abstract

An efficient computer-aided solution procedure based on the finite-element method is developed for the analysis of hybrid waves guided by uniaxial planar waveguides for the case when the optical axis is in the plane of the slab. In this approach, self-consistent solutions are obtained by a simple iterative scheme. Dispersion relations for hybrid waves in a multimode uniaxial planar waveguide are given and compared with analytical results.
