title: Novel optical waveguide for integrated optics.
abstract: A novel dielectric optical waveguide was made consisting of a guide pattern on a thin dielectric film. Almost all the power propagates in the thin film along the guide pattern. The existence of propagation modes of this waveguide was verified both theoretically and experimentally.
