Abstract
The cutoff behaviour of graded-index planar waveguides is analysed in terms of the normalized waveguide parameters by using the multilayer technique and the WKB approach. The results show a very high degree of accuracy when checked against exact known values for exponential and hyperbolic index profiles. A set of universal plots showing the general features is given for the cutoff values of both fundamental and first-order modes. The TM polarization is also studied by comparison with the TE one.
