摘要: A quantitative theory of light propagation in a dielectric slab guide with general cladding media is presented. It based on plane wave which bounces zigzag fashion along the as result total or partial reflections at two surfaces film. Two mechanisms are considered contribute to attenuation guide: losses due absorption and materials, radiation if leaky one. We point out significance Goos-Hanchen effect for all questions relating power flow guide. The illustrated by discussing dispersion guides various low-index high-index claddings, operating above below cutoff. particularly detail. Its high leakage can be reduced practically acceptable values (<1d B/cm) increasing film thickness ≳ 40λ. One application this coupler. This coupler may viewed prism-film simplified omission gap. offers new approach problem broad-band coupling thin-film guides.
