Transmission properties in waveguides: An optical streamline analysis. (arXiv:1108.4964v1 [physics.optics])

Transmission properties in waveguides: An optical streamline analysis. (arXiv:1108.4964v1 [physics.optics]):
A novel approach to study transmission through waveguides in terms of optical
streamlines is presented. This theoretical framework relies on the possibility
to monitor light through the guiding medium by means of these sampler paths. In
this way, not only the optical flow through the waveguide can be followed in
detail, but also a fair estimate of the transmitted light (intensity) can be
accounted for by counting arrivals of streamlines whose starting points
distribute according to the input pulse. Furthermore, the mechanism for light
losses is also elucidated, which can be advantageously exploited in optimal
waveguide design techniques.
