Abstract

We present an improved optimal variational method (Vopt) to overcome the assumption of field separability in the two orthogonal directions. The improved Vopt method is shown to give accurate results with less computational effort. The method is applied to rib waveguides and the results are compared with those obtained using the computationally intensive finite-element method.
