This paper gives the simple and
logical approach of LP modes in circular and elliptical waveguides. Earlier the
basic approach of modes in circular and elliptical fibers was studied by the
authors.In this paper, the role of radial antinode in
circular and elliptical waveguides is given clearly. Splitting of modes in circular and elliptical fiber has
been discussed.
