光波导，也被称为“电介质”波导，是用于在集成光学的导波器件和电路中限制和引导光的结构。这一章专门介绍这些波导的理论。本书的其他章节讨论了它们的制造技术，如溅射，扩散，离子注入或外延生长。众所周知的光波导当然是通常具有圆形横截面的光纤。相反，集成光学器件感兴趣的波导通常是平面结构，例如平面膜或带。我们的讨论将集中在这些平面波导，即使大多数的基本原理是适用于所有的光波导类型。
Optical waveguides, also known as" dielectric" waveguides, are the structures that are used to confine and guide the light in the guided-wave devices and circuits of integrated optics. This chapter is devoted to the theory of these waveguides. Other chapters of this book discuss their fabrication by such techniques as sputtering, diffusion, ion implantation or epitaxial growth. A well-known optical waveguide is, of course, the optical fiber which usually has a circular cross-section. In contrast, the guides of interest to integrated optics are usually planar structures such as planar films or strips. Our discussion will focus on these planar guides even though most of the fundamentals are applicable to all optical waveguide types.
