Abstract
Results and new theory are presented for the uncoated and coated facet refl ectivity of a shallowly buried waveguide, taking account of the diffracting corner present at the air-semiconductor interface. The corner effects are shown to be most significant in the case of coated facets. The analysis als o predicts the asymmetry introduced into the radiation pattern.
