Abstract

The paper presents a solution for the design problem of planar optical waveguides with refractive-index profiles that support N TE modes with prescribed propagation constants. The N-soliton solution of the Korteweg de Vries equation is used to obtain a formula which determines an N-parameter family of functions describing the refractive-index profiles each of which has the desired property. An analytical form of the solution of the problem is ob-tained in terms of hyperbolic functions. Formulae for the choice of N arbitrary constants which produces the symmetric refractive-index profile are given. The exact modal solutions for derived refractive-index distributions are given in terms of hyperbolic functions. The cases of N=1,2,3 and the hyperbolic-secant profile are discussed in detail.
