Optical Waveguide Effect in Optical Cables
Optical waveguides efficiently guide light using a core and cladding structure, minimizing signal loss. Total internal reflection is the key principle that allows light to be confined within the waveguide, ensuring effective transmission. Rectangular shapes are easier to implement on integrated circuits, while cylindrical shapes are used for longer distances, up to 100 km or more. Although there are reports on the theory of optical waveguides with magneto-optical (MO) and magnetoelectric (ME) effects, a comprehensive theoretical analysis of waveguides considering these two effects has not.
