  • Abstract
    A new variational functional is introduced for the analysis of curved open and closed waveguides. The method does not set any restrictions to the shape of the waveguide or to the radius of the bend. The dielectric function can be homogenous or nonhomogenous with transverse and/or longitudinal anisotropy. As an example of the method a curved isotropic and anisotropic fiber with two different kinds of anisotropy models are studied.
