  • Abstract
    Power transport through the local guided modes and power loss by reflection and radiation in highly multimodal tapered dielectric waveguides is analyzed by a simplified coupled mode theory. Comparison with geometrical optics shows a very good agreement for long tapers. Application of tapered highly multimodal channel waveguides in PCBs is discussed.
