Optical waveguide theory (Invited Paper)

As optical fiber technology matures, complexity of optical waveguides and waveguide components also grows. Traditional techniques which may be used to analyze simple step-index circular fibers are no longer adequate. An assessment of several modern analytical/numerical techniques which have been used successfully to treat problems of practical interests is given, Illustrative numerical examples are also presented.
