초록

Based on the modified effective index method, analysis of dielectric rectangular waveguides and directional couplers are presented. Aside from the effective index concept of channel region, the equivalent index concept of cladding region is proposed. The error problem of eigenvalues, which has been experienced when the effective index method is used, is improved. Our approxiamtions give similar accuracy when compared with the results of other regorous approxiamtion techiniques. The advantage of the modified effective index methods is utilized by replacing the directional coupler with the equivalent slab guides, and the coupling constant is calculated by the coupled mode theory. The effectiveness of the equivalent index concept is positively confirmed.
