Abstract

An approximate scalar finite-element program for the analysis of anisotropic optical waveguides with a diagonal permittivity tensor is described. The accuracy of the method has been checked by calculating the eigenmodes of two-dimensional, anisotropic asymmetric slab waveguides. The results obtained for a channel waveguide embedded in LiNbO3 agree well with the results of the earlier vectorial finite-element method.
