Y-branch optical waveguides are analyzed in terms of normalized parameters by means of the usual modal analysis. With these parameters the number of variables of the problem is reduced, and universal plots for the mode conversion are obtained. Our results show that the normalized parameters are useful for the design of branching waveguides more tolerant of fabrication errors.
