Propagation of radiation in a waveguides is theoretically described by
Maxwell& / #8217 / s equations. The gradient of refractive index and an influence on the
waveguide by a superstrate requires a numerical solution of the differential
equation. Iterative methods such as the Runge-Kutta approaches are used to
calculate the effective refractive index in the waveguide depending on the
superstrate& / #8217 / s and the waveguide& / #8217 / s local refractive indices.
In this study,the refractive indices, and the model fields of the TE00
modes are calculated. The calculated fields of the 00 TE modes give information
about the propagation of the light in the waveguide. Also, the precision of the
Runge-Kutta aproaches has been tested. The advantages and disadvantages of
the Runge-Kutta aproaches are discussed.
