Abstract :
A discussion is presented of guided mode propagation in strongly guiding, strongly curved dielectric slabs. It is found that differences in propagation constant between modes of such slabs can be made one order of magnitude larger than those between straight slab modes by controlling slab curvature. The beam propagation method is used to verify the analytically obtained results
