Abstract
This article justifies the fact that the fields in a wave guide can be expanded as a linear combination of normal modes. The proof consists in showing that (a) this expansion is possible for the z components of the fields and modes and (b) that, in three dimensions, the fields as a whole are equal to a linear expansion of modes with precisely the same coefficients as were found in the expansion of the z components.
