## Abstract In this paper, the reflection coefficient of a flanged rectangular waveguide radiating into a dielectric slab is rigorously studied with the Fourier transform and mode‐matching technique. Residue calculus is used to convert the reflection coefficient into rapidly convergent series. Comp

✦ Synopsis
The reflection and transmission coefficients of electromagnetic wa¨es, whose trans¨erse electric and magnetic field components possess a gi¨en symmetric distribution, ha¨e been determined by the rigorous analysis of tehse components at the aperture plane of a semi-infinite chiral slab, either embedded between two semi-infinite dielectric media and placed in front of an air half space, or totally immersed in a uniform dielectric medium. The discrete spectrum of incident and reflected surface modes as well as the continuous spectrum of reflected and transmitted modes ha¨e been taken into consideration in this analysis. The ensuing integral equations ha¨e been transformed, by using an appropriate complete set of basis functions, into a system of algebraic equations which ha¨e been sol¨ed numerically. The tangential components of the electromagnetic field at the aperture plane, the radiation field in the far region, as well as the transmission and reflection coefficients ¨ariation as a function of chirality ha¨e been obtained, and different excitation schemes ha¨e been analyzed.

Taking the symmetric slab wa¨eguide as an example, we show that radiation modes of a weakly guiding planar optical wa¨eguide can be approximated by the free-space modes; their field expressions and normalization constants are simple and physically understandable, and can be obtained directly without
## Abstract Devices based on two‐dimensional (2D) photonic crystals (PCs) are typically realized as 3D structures consisting of an array of holes (or rods) vertically etched through a slab waveguide. The existence of holes in a slab waveguide may induce strong radiation losses to the slab claddings
## Abstract The scattering and radiation characteristics of a step discontinuity in a double‐negative (DNG) slab waveguide operating in the evanescent surface mode are analyzed by a method which combines the rigorous mode‐matching method with multimode network theory. In the analysis, the radiation
