The radiation fields of an optical waveguide can be determined either by modal methods or by Green s function methods, as discussed in Chapters 25 and 34. In Chapter 26, we show how, starting from either representation, the total radiation fields and expressed exactly as a sum of leaky modes... 

The total fields of an optical waveguide are expressible as a summation over discrete bound and leaky modes, together with the space-wave fields. This representation is formally identical to the expansion of Eq. (11-2). If we consider only forward-propagating modes, then...

The last five chapters have shown how the radiation fields of an optical waveguide can be represented in different ways. In Chapter 24, we introduced the notion of leaky modes to describe the bulk of the radiation field close to the waveguide axis at distances sufficiently far from the source of exdtatioa The remaining portion of the radiation field corresponds to a space wave, as defined in Eq. (24-1). The same radiation field can also be represented either by an expansion over radiation modes, as we showed in Chapter 25, or by a superposition of the fields of point dipole sources, using the Green s function techniques for waveguides described in Chapters 21 and 34. In this chapter, we show how to find the space-wave component of the radiation field by formally decomposing either representation into leaky modes and a space wave.
