Rigorous and analytical solutions without paraxial approximation for Gaussian beams in planar optical waveguides have been derived by the combined imaginary-shifted-wave method, based on the cylindrical wave solutions in optical waveguides. The two-dimensional Gaussian beam solutions including higher-order modes were obtained. Analytical solutions are useful for understanding the beam characteristics.
