Abstract :
A method for the synthesis of inhomogeneous dielectric-slab waveguides is described. The function ¿¿(x), which specifies the variation of the dielectric constant, is determined from the given spectrum of cutoff frequencies and the group velocities at the cutoff frequencies. The method is based on the solution of the inverse Sturm-Liouville problem, and it is illustrated by a number of solutions.
