Normalized and cutoff frequencies - 2.0 Planar waveguides - Optical Waveguides and Fibers
In this episode I discuss the normalized frequency of the planar waveguides.
I show you how to calculate the number of TE and TM modes that can be guided in waveguide, and how the thickness of the core and the difference of the refractive indexes influence the number of modes. You will also get to know how to design a single-mode waveguide.
