I. INTRODUCTION
OPEN DIELECTRIC WAVEGUIDES for optical-in. tegrated circuits as shown in Fig. I, where nj'1 (i =
I, 2 and j = I , 2, 3, 4) is the refractive index and n~) ;;,: n¥) , are very difficult to analyze rigorously. Some analyses of optical strip waveguides, rib waveguides , rectangular dielectric waveguides , embossed waveguides, and embedded waveguides obtained from the somewhat generalized waveguide structure in Fig. I have been attempted through the following approaches [I ]: t~e approximate analytical approach [2]-[4]; and the numerical approach [5]-[8] . Although the calculation procedure of the fonner approach is relatively simple, its accuracy is practically insufficient. On the otner hand, the latter approach is more effective for precise investigation. However, the numerical approach is, in general, time consuming and expensive . Recently, the equivalent network approach has been developed for open dielectric waveguides [9]-[16] . The calculation procedure of this approach is relatively simple, and application of the socalled transverse resonance technique yields approximate but fairly accurate analytical expressions for the dispersion relations for the propagation wavenumber k, in the zdirection. However, since the continuous spectrum contributions at the sides of the waveguide are neglected, the equivalent network representation cannot be derived for the waveguides having no discrete modes in region 2 in Fig . I, such as the rectangular dielectric waveguide , the embossed waveguide, and the embedded waveguide [14]. For the analysis of a dielectric waveguide on a ground plane, Koshiba et al. [17], [18] have presented an im-

proved equivalent network approach in which the continuous spectrum contributions are taken into account. However, this approach is based on the scalar wave approximation, in which the coupling produced between TE (E)' == 0) and TM (Hy == 0) modes [8], [12], [13] at the sides of the waveguide is neglected. In [12] and [13], the TE-TM coupling is ta"en into account , but the approximate bounded approach, in which the open dielectric waveguide is enclosed by perfect electric conductors, is used.
This paper presents a more rigorous method of the vectorial wave analysis of open dielectric waveguides for optical-integrated circuits using an equivalent network approach. In this analysis , all of the contributions from the discrete and continuous parts of the spectrum and from the TE-TM coupling are taken into account. To show the validity and usefulness of this formulation, examples are computed for optical strip waveguid!!s, rib waveguides, rectangular dielectric waveguides, embossed waveguides , and embedded waveguides.
II. TRANSMISSION LINE EQUATIONS
For the purpose of the analysis , the waveguide is divided into two regions (regions I and 2) as shown in Fig. I , and then, with respect to the x direction, we express the transverse fields [12], [13] in tenns of ali TE (Ey ==

n( EQUIVALENT NETWORK FOR STEP JUNCTION
The dielectric waveguide as shown in Fig. I will support the propagation of waves having two possible field configurations, classified as the E;q and E~q modes [2] that can be represented by a linear combination of the TE (Ey '" 0) and TM (Hy '" 0) modes [8]. The main field components of the members of the first family are Ex and Hy , while those of the second are Ey and Ex. The subscripts p and q indicate the number of extrema of the electric or magnetic field in the x and y directions , respectively.

The boundary conditions at each junction plane (x ± W/2) are that both E, and H, are continuous across it.

IV . DISPERSION RELA nONS
Taking all of the contributions from the di screte and continuous parts of the spectrum and from the TE-TM coupling into account , we obtain the final equivalent networks as shown in Figs. 4(a) and (b) for the E;q and p"q modes in the original structure (Fig. I) , respectively. To evaluate the turns ratio N,q (r = I , 2) of the transfonner, the series impedance Z, and the shunt admittance Y explicitly , we assume the fonn for the field h, or e, in the junction plane as
h = a( l)g( I)(y) t Iq Iq
+ a (2)g(2)(y) I q Iq , E~q modes (19a)
e = a (l)j (I)(y) / 2q 2q

calculated by the fallowing condition:

(20a)
(20b)
The value of a~~ allows the detennination of the turns ratio, the series impedance, and the shunt admittance in Fig. 4.
For the waveguide having no discrete modes in region 2{ we assume the fonn for the field h, or e, to be h, = gl~(Y) or e, = j;~(y) , respectively. In this case, N 1q =
N2q = 0, and Z and Y can be calculated directly from (16b) and (l8b) without using (20), respectively.
A. E;q M odes
From the symmetry of the structure (Fig. I ), we recognize that two classes of solutions are possible: those (p = I , 3, 5, ... ) for which the main field components of the E;q modes, namely Ex and Hy, are symmetric about the midplane (x = 0) and those (p = 2, 4 , 6, ... ) for which they are anti symmetric. The symmetric and anti symmetric modes then correspond to the free resonances of the short-circuit and open-circuit bisections of the equivalent network , respectively [14) .
From the transverse resonance condition [9)- [ 18], we

find the dispersion relation for the wavenumber k, to be

where Z and Z are the input impedances seen looking in opposite directions at x = WI2 - 0 in the equivalent network.
B. E~q Modes
For the E~ modes , the symmetric and antisymmetric modes correspond to the free resonances of the open-circuit and short-circuit bisections of the equivalent network, respectively [14].
The dispersion relation is given by

where Yand Yare the input admittances seen looking in opposite directions at x = WI2 - 0 in the equivalent network.
v. COMPUTED R ESULTS
Fig. 5 shows dispersion characteristics for the E~q modes of the rib waveguide . Solid lines are the results of the vectorial wave ana lysis . Dashed lines are the results of the scalar wave analysis in [14]. Our results indicated by so lid lines agree well with the results of the vectorial wave analysis using the mode-matching method [8]. The accuracy of the scalar wave analysis [14] becomes poorer for the higher-order modes.
Figs. 6(a) and (b) show dispersion characteristics for the Ei~1 and E~q modes of the rectangular dielectric waveguide, respectively , where the normalized frequency vand the normalized guide index b are given by
v = kol J"l - "lhr b = {(k/ ko)' - "ll/(nl - "i).
(23)
(24)
Solid lines are the results of the vectorial wave analysis. Dashed lines are the results of the scalar wave analysis in [1 7] and [18]. Effects of the TE-TM coupling are larger for the higher-order modes (E~ , and E~ , modes) than for the fundamenta l modes (£;, and E{, modes). Our results indicated by sol id lines agree well with the results of the vectorial wave analysis using the collocation method [5].
Figs. 7 and 8 show dispersion characterist ics of the embossed waveguide and of the embedded waveguide, respectively (vectorial wave analysis). Solid and dashed lines are for the E~q and E~ modes , respectively . Comparison of our results with the results of the vectorial wave analysis using the finite-element method [7] shows good agreement.
