  • Abstract
    An improved version of coupled-mode equations for parallel dielectric waveguides has been derived by using a newly found relationship that connects the propagation constants of the individual guides to the coupling coefficients via an overlap integral that measures the guides´ proximity. The four parameters of these new coupled equations are simple functions of essentially one single quantity: the asynchronism of the individual guides properly normalized.
