Abstract
A technique based on an iterative numerical method is described for lo cating the bifurcation point which separates the dispersion curve for TE modes of a nonlinear planar waveguide into stable and unstable regi ons. Numerical examples are presented for waveguides with both step an d graded refractive index profiles illustrating how iterative methods can be used to locate regions of stability.
