The term “single-material fiber” describes a dielectric optical waveguide made of only one type of glass. The theory of this waveguide is simplified by placing the structure between two perfectly conducting planes that have very little influence on the properties of the low-order modes. The field distribution and propagation constant of the lowest-order mode are investigated and compared to an approximate theory.
