Abstract :
The theory of strong mode coupling involving nonorthogonal modes is extended to tapered structures. Initially, an attempt is made to show that previous formulations of the problem of nonorthogonal-mode coupling in tapered structures are incomplete. An equation is derived which is the generalization to tapered structures of the coupled-mode formalism with nonorthogonal modes.<>
