Abstract :
The scattering and mode conversion of guided modes caused by a cylindrical scatterer of arbitrary cross section embedded in, or placed on, a dielectric slab waveguide are investigated theoretically. The method employed for the analysis is the surface current integral equation technique. The total scattered power, mode-conversion coefficients, and scattering patterns for the typical numerical examples are shown.
