Abstract :
A modal-matching method is used to evaluate the transmission and reflection coefficients at a junction between two planar surface waveguides. Results are obtained for parameters which represent the junction between a solid-state laser and a planar optical waveguide. Favourable comparison is made with results obtained from an integral-equation method.
