Guided Waves In Dielectric Waveguides With Slanted Gratings

Abstract

A rigorous analysis of guided waves in dielectric waveguides with slanted gratings is presented for the general three-dimt:nsional case of oblique propagation. The analysis is formulated in a unified matrix form .so that guidance properties can be obtained accurately in any level b y systematic matrix calculations. The numerical results clarify the efects of the slant angle and oblique propagation.
