Abstract
A comparison of the single-mode condition for semiconductor rib wavegu ides with large cross section obtained by the effective index method a nd the corrected formula proposed by Soref sc al, [8];with experimenta l data is carried out. It is found that the effective index method is in a better agreement with Rickman's [11] experimental data than the m odified version. Moreover a stronger condition is proposed for single- mode design purposes.
