Abstract
The mode propagation characteristics of metal-clad dielectric waveguid es are investigated in near cutoff by using an approximate analytical method. The effects of the metal-cladding thickness on the mode cutoff conditions are considered. The modulation characteristic of the cutof f intensity modulator is equivalently described by the power ratios. T he computed results are in good agreement with the exact numerical sol utions in near cutoff.
