TEM TE and TM Modes for Waveguides ?

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the need for equations related to TEM, TE, and TM modes specifically for planar waveguides and optical fiber waveguides. The user is seeking clarity on how to derive these equations step by step, as existing resources primarily focus on rectangular waveguides. A suggestion is made that if the planar waveguide consists of two infinite perfect electric conductor (PEC) sheets, the equations from the provided link could be adapted by removing side wall components. It is emphasized that for TM modes, the wave components will be constrained in the y direction while remaining unconstrained in the x direction, leading to specific mode equations. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the geometry of the waveguide to apply the correct mathematical framework.

hello ;
I need some help.I reading about TEM TE and TM Modes for Waveguides. actually I need some equations for Planar wave guide and optical fiber wave guide. I did google search. I don't understand how to write equation step by step for planar wave guide
I found this link http://examcrazy.com/Engineering/Electronics-Communication/TEM_TE_and_TM_Modes_for_Waveguides.asp
but that's for rectangular wave guide and I am looking for planar waveguide
please someone tell me link for planar wave guide ?

When you say planar waveguide, are you saying 2 (infinite) PEC sheets a certain distance apart? If that is the case, your development in the link you sent should work in theory, just take away the component relating to the side walls.
Say you want TM to z, so all wave components are in the x, and y directions and your waveguide is at y=0 and y=a.
Your wave is unconstrained in the x direction, so you will get modes in y that will still use ##\frac {m \pi}{a}##.
 
I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
