title: Analysis of open dielectric waveguides using the finite-element penalty method.
abstract: This paper analyzes open dielectric waveguides using the vector finite-element method and boundary integral equations derived from the second Green's theorem. This finite-element formulation, together with the boundary operator, is solved using a penalty function method. Comparison with previously published results shows good agreement for the analysis of the rectangular dielectric waveguide.
