Hi, I'm new on the forum and I would like to start with a question. I've searched for a reply in old posts with no success. If you can help me to find an answer I'll be very glad.
Talking about optical modes inside a waveguide. If a waveguide support two different modes, say TM and TE mode, but one (suppose TE) has a faster propagation that the other, then what happens? Does the waveguide supports only the TE mode? Or both modes propagates? What happens to the transmitted signal? It has an higher TE component than a TM component?
Please help me on understanding this topic also adding your observations.
Thanks
