Abstract

An improved solution to the dominant mode properties of groove guides of general cross section is presented in this paper. A novel differential equation is formulated and solved by numerical integration technique. Numerical results for single V-groove guide show good agreement with available measured values. Calculated results for the cutoff wavelengths of semicircular-groove and trapezoidal-groove guides are presented.
