Popis: We present a simple and accurate method for characteristic analysis of metal-clad dielectric waveguides and absorptive waveguides. The real partN′ of the complex modal indexN=N′ + iN″ is obtained by solving the corresponding real eigenvalue equation, and the imaginary partN″ is given by (∂n′/∂e′)e″, wheree=e′ + ie″ is the complex dielectric constant of the absorptive layer, and ∂N′/∂e′ is obtained by numerical differentiation. The method is straightforward, and the cumbersome solution of complex transcendental equations is completely eliminated. Results for simple structures are in good agreement with those obtained by exact analysis.
