Abstract :
The mode techniques based on the representation of the input field as a spectrum of propagating modes are proposed for calculating the propagation of radiation in oversized hollow waveguides excited by linearly polarized Gaussian beams. Optimum excitation conditions are determined theoretically and experimentally, and the degree of polarization of the beams transmitted through the waveguides is evaluated.
