Abstract
This article presents a short review of the various methods of characterizing integrated-optic waveguides. It is intended to acquaint researchers, particularly beginners in this field, with the principles of some of the widely used techniques of characterizing one-dimensional (planar) and two-dimensional (such as channel or rib) waueguides.Keywords
