Abstract
On the basis of the transfer-matrix technique, the concept of the equi valent attenuated vector is proposed and used to analyze the character istics of the propagating modes in planar optical waveguides with grad ed refractive-index profile; an exact analytic equation is obtained fo r the dispersion equation of arbitrary graded refractive-index planar optical waveguides.
