Abstract
An asymptotic form of the characteristic equation that describes wave propagation at near-infrared wavelengths in small core hollow circular waveguides is developed. Analytic solutions for the transverse and ax ial propagation constants are obtained. These demonstrate the transiti on of the TE(11) and TM(01) modes to surface waves as the guide radius is increased to values much greater than at cutoff. Relative power de nsity distributions illustrating these mode transitions are shown.
