To develop a sound base on which to design efficient lightguides, it is necessary to understand the physics of the propagating modes of this new and important transmission medium. To achieve this end, we have calculated numerical solutions to the vector form of Maxwell's equations for lightguides and have obtained all six components of the electromagnetic field. We have included materials dispersion and calculated Poynting vectors and effective and group indices.
