Microwave Engineering Approach to Metallic Based Photonic Waveguides and Waveguide Components

Approaches from microwave engineering are used to analyze metallic waveguides and wave-guiding circuits and to point out the usefulness of these techniques in photonics applications, for design of components and to achieve higher densities of integration in integrated photonics circuits than is the case today. It is also find that the losses are severe for certain applications.
