The model is based on numerical evaluation of electromagnetic wave by applying an intrinsic field integral to evaluate the field behaviour inside the optical waveguide. To analyse the field distribution inside the non-uniform waveguide and predict the beam propagation of optical energy involved in the propagation process, it is necessary to track the motion of any observation point along the tapered waveguide itself. Physically, the rays of the spectrum undergo reflections on the waveguide boundaries until the cut-off occurs and the phenomena of radiation begin. The numerical results show good agreement with those obtained by classical methods of evaluation used bv other works.展开更多

When an elliptical waveguide becomes a circular waveguide, the electromagnetic fields and the eigenequation of the circular waveguide can be obtained from the eigenequation of the elliptical waveguide using the asymptotic formulae of Mathieu and modified Mathieu functions for a large radial coordinate in the elliptical coordinate system, and the eigenequation of a circular waveguide filled with multilayered dielectrics can be treated as a special case of an elliptical waveguide. In addition, some numerical examples are presented to analyze the propagating characteristics influenced by the permittivity, permeability of dielectrics filled in the elliptical waveguide, etc. The results show that changing the permittivity or permeability of the dielectrics filled in the waveguide and the major semiaxis value of the i-th layer can change the propagating characteristics of an elliptical waveguide.展开更多

The size of PbTiO3 nano-crystals was estimated to be 30-40 nm using a transmission electron microscope. The refractive index and the mode propagation losses at 633 nm were measured using the prism coupling technique and improved photographic technique respectively. They were found to be 1.6545 and 2.00 dB cm^-1 （fundamental mode）,respectively. Moreover, it is observed that this loss is increased at higher mode indices.展开更多
