Abstract :
The propagation characteristics of the guided modes in an inhomogeneous dielectric slab waveguide are analyzed by tbe regularized WKBJ method. The corrected propagation constants of the guided modes in a near parabolic index medium are derived in analytic form. The effects of the refractive index profile and the homogeneous cladding on the guided modes can be expressed in terms of the mode indices and evaluated numerically.
