            Abstract : 
We propose a full-wave mode-analysis method suited for micromachined coplanar waveguides (MCPWs). This method is based on the mixed-potential integral equation, in combination with a zero-search algorithm. Results are presented for a semicircular step-index fibre as well as for a MCPW.
