Abstrakt: This article focuses on the photonic effects caused by multiple discontinuities in optical waveguides. Integrated circuits and devices using dielectric waveguides require transitions from metallic rectangular waveguides to dielectric waveguides, in addition to transitions between different dielectric waveguides and dielectric posts. At optical frequencies, periodic dielectric materials offer a great deal of control over the propagation of electromagnetic waves. Periodic configurations in both planar and channel integrated optical waveguides can be analysed. In all cases, the model encloses the dielectric waveguides by perfectly conducting walls, and the cross-section of the resulting guiding system is covered by a grid of pixels so that the refraction index inside each pixel is uniform.
