Abstract :
Results are presented for anisotropic waveguides, with an arbitrary permittivity tensor, being diffused in both the transverse directions and by using the finite element method with the vector H-field formulation for the analysis. The importance of considering the waveguide core dimensions to be greater than the diffusion depth in both the transverse directions, the use of extrapolation techniques and of a symmetry plane for anisotropic waveguides are also discussed
