Abstract
We have developed a generalized Bloch wave approach for the analysis o f aperiodic gratings. This method yields both a macroscopic (i.e., ref lection or transmission coefficient) as well as a microscopic (i.e., d ispersion diagram and microstructure of the propagating internal field ) characterization of fiber and waveguide aperiodic gratings.
