The Wave-Optics Analysis in Thin-Film Optical Waveguide with Faraday Effect

순수 자기광효과가 았는 광도파관의 파동 광학적 해석

An exact wave-optics analysis of wave propagation in thin-film optical waveguide using gyrotropic materials as the substrate or film of the guide is presented for the first time. Based on the Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions of the guide, the field composition and the boundary conditions of the guide, the field composition and the phase velocity for the eigenmodes of the guide are determined. The field patterns of the guided waves are shown for the eigenmodes of the guides. The present analysos allows a new interpretation in the mode conversion of the thin-film optical waveguides.
