Guided Waves in Layered Media
Layered media can support confined electromagnetic propagation. These modes of propagation are the so-called guided waves, and the structures that support guided waves are called waveguides.

Symmetric Slab Waveguides
• Dielectric slabs are the simplest optical waveguides.
• It consists of a thin dielectric layer sandwiched between two semi-infinite bounding media.
• The index of refraction of theguiding layer must be greaterthan those of the surroundmedia.

• For confined modes, the field amplitude must fall off exponentially outside the waveguide.
• Consequently, the quantity (nω/c)^2-β^2 must be negative for |x| > d/2.
