Abstract :
We review a method we recently developed to construct Green´s function in the paraxial approximation associated with arbitrary graded-index optical elements. We then demonstrate that our formalism may be successfully applied to calculate in an extremely simple fashion the optical losses associated with bent and perturbed optical waveguides.
