Abstract :
A novel method is proposed for the analysis of transients in dielectric guide, e.g., when excited by a Gaussian beam pulsed in time and modulated by a cosine waveform. This approach, utilizing the full modal spectrum of the guide, results more reliable than existing numerical techniques, while, by virtue of its analytical nature, greatly reducing the computational complexity of the problem
