Abstract

A simple formula is derived which is applied as a quasi-TE- or quasi-TM-mode corrector to the propagation constant values obtained from a scalar treatment of semiconductor rib waveguides. The resulting polarised propagation constants agree favourably with well established benchmark values for both types of mode. The present approach offers advantages in the speed and simplicity of solution.
