Abstract

We have obtained closer results to the exact value of the normalized propagation constant for the fundamental mode of the optical rib waveguide by using the second-order variational method. The lateral and depth confinements of the light in the guiding layer can be optimized by the variation of the height and the refractive index of the rib..
