The purpose of this study is to propose a method for designing planar waveguides of arbitrary modal electric field distribution. Normally, the authors know or specify a waveguide and they solve for the mode propagation constant which allows them to plot the electric field. A novel and efficient algorithm is proposed here for determining arbitrary refractive index profile planar waveguides with a given...
