Abstract

Existence of symmetric complex waves in a dielectric rod (DR) - a dielectric waveguide of circular cross section - is proved by analyzing functional properties of the dispersion equations (DEs) using the theory of functions of several complex variables and validating the existence of complex roots of DE. A closed-form iteration procedure for calculating the roots in the complex domain supplied with efficient choice of initial approximation is proposed. Numerical modeling is performed with the help of a parameter-differentiation method applied to the analytical and numerical solution of DEs.
