title: Numerical simulation of an arbitrarily ended asymmetrical slab waveguide by guided-mode extracted integral equations.
abstract: The scattering phenomenon from an arbitrary-shaped end of a asymmetrical slab waveguide for the cases of TE and TM guided modes is simulated by means of boundary integral equations that are called guided-mode extracted integral equations. The integral equations that we derive can be solved by the conventional boundary-element method. Numerical results are presented for problems of three-layer asymmetrical waveguides with tilted ends. The reflection coefficient, reflected and scattered powers, and radiation patterns are calculated numerically for the cases of incident TE and TM guided modes.
