“…1, where the wavelength ..\ is 1.152/'Lm and the refractive indexes of a substrate and a top layer are n~ = 1.95 and nc = 1.0, respectively. The refractive index no: = n 1l = n z ~ n and the off-diagonal component of the relative permittivity tensor 0 of magnetooptic materials are given in Table I [2], [7], [8], (13]. For simplicity, we assume the artificial boundary walls x = ±X /2, y = -Y~, and y = t + Y c (magnetooptic rib waveguides) or y = t+h +Y c (magnetooptic ridge waveguides) far from the core region.…”
