A COMMENT ON THE COUPLED-MODE EQUATIONS USED IN GUIDED-WAVE OPTICS

[摘要] The neglect of certain second derivatives in an often used derivation of the coupled-mode equations is unnecessary, as pointed out in 1979 by Sipe et al., and more recently by Crosignani et al. A derivation that begins with the wave equation rather than directly with Maxwell's equations is illustrated.
