General Notes:
Includes bibliographical references (pages 167-177) and index.
1. Introduction -- 2. Electromagnetic theory for anisotropic media and weak guidance for longitudinally invariant fibers -- 3. Circular isotropic longitudinally invariant fibers -- 4. Azimuthal symmetry breaking -- 5. Birefringence : linear, radial, and circular -- 6. Multicore fibers and multifiber couplers -- 7. Conclusions and extensions.
"This in-depth work explains how transverse optical waveguide geometry influences modal field distribution and polarization properties. You will gain a thorough understanding of the fundamental physics of mode structure." "Optical Waveguide Modes covers single- and few-mode optical waveguides with an emphasis on single-core and multicore optical fibers and couplers, including a large range of geometries and anisotropies. Analysis is performed using extensions of the weak-guidance perturbation formalism together with elementary group representation theory. This definitive volume offers a detailed introduction to and classification of diverse forms of fundamental and higher-order modes and various polarization manifestations."--Jacket.
