We review the mathematical description of axial propagation in inhomogeneous dielectrics, focusing on two canonical examples: scalar Bragg gratings and thin film helicoidal bianisotropic media (TFHBM). Coupled wave analysis is reviewed for the former, and exact methods based on rotational transforms
