Abstract
A convenient and efficient numerical technique is presented for determining modal properties of an optical fibre or planar waveguide. A simple recurrence relation, suitable for programming on only a pocket calculator, leads to parameters such as group velocity and cutoff wavelengths. The method is particularly useful for analysing single mode fibres, and an example of current interest is given.
