โฆ Synopsis
With the use of the scalar field approximation a study has been made of a guide haยจing a shape of the lemniscate of Bernoulli as its cross section. This structure represents approximately the situation when two cores are embedded in the same cladding. This is often done in ( practice. In this case one expects a kind of cross talk or coupling ) between the two cores . The present study incorporates a detailed analysis of the modal cutoff condition for such a guide. A comparatiยจe study of the modal cutoff ยจalues of the present guide and the guides with cardiodic, circular, and elliptical cross sections has been reported. As a basis for comparison all these guides are assumed to haยจe equal crosssectional areas. It has been found that the presence of two adjacent cores reduces the cutoff ยจalue, which ultimately proliferates the modes. แฎ 1997

We make an analytical study of the modal cutoff behaยจior of a waยจeguide with an annular core cross section bounded by two nonconcentric circles. The characteristic and cutoff equations are obtained with the use of the weak guidance approximation. Numerical computations show that the number of modes
