Abstract
We present an improved analysis to obtain vector modes of a rectangular-core waveguide (RCW) structure whose dielectric constant profile is separable in x and y coordinates. Using this analysis, a perturbation method is then developed to obtain vector modes of a practical RCW. The propagation constants so obtained for a fully-buried and a ridge RCW structure using the present analysis are found to be in better agreement with reported numerical values than the ones obtained with an earlier reported perturbation approach [Kumar et al., Opt. Lett. 8 (1983) 63].
