optical fiber waveguides, transparent dielectric waveguides made of plastic and glass, liquid light guides, and liquid waveguides. Optical waveguides

waveguides include acoustic waveguides which direct sound, optical waveguides which direct light, and radio-frequency waveguides which direct electromagnetic

An optical ring resonator is a set of waveguides in which at least one is a closed loop coupled to some sort of light input and output. (These can be

the connector. In an optical fiber or other dielectric waveguide, modes are generally of the hybrid type. Hollow metallic waveguides filled with a homogeneous

(FBT) technologies: PLC creates optical waveguides in a flat substrate made of silica to split light, and FBT fuses optical fibers together to create a splitter

and sodium fluorides. Their main technological application is as optical waveguides in both planar and fiber forms. They are advantageous especially in

dielectric waveguides and the Goubau line, use both metal walls and dielectric surfaces to confine the wave. Depending on the frequency, waveguides can be

Refractive index contrast, in an optical waveguide, such as an optical fiber, is a measure of the relative difference in refractive index of the core

coupled back into the gain medium. Two types of optical waveguides are in common use. A ridge waveguide is created by etching parallel trenches in the

n_{j}>n_{c}>n_{air}} ARROWs can be realized as cylindrical waveguides (2D confinement) or slab waveguides (1D confinement). The latter ARROWs are practically
