  • Abstract
    The propagation constants of optical waveguides may be altered by applying a perturbing overlayer. Effectiyely-infinite-thickness superstates are compared with finite-thickness claddings; finite overlayers offer some advantages. The Langmuir-film technology is shown to meet the specification for the finite-cladding process.
