| Abstract: | Coupled mode theory is unnecessary for the analysis of pulse propagation in multimode optic waveguides. Instead, a very simple ray or continuum equation is derived from elementary plane-wave concepts to account for the effects of absorption loss and scattering. The formalism reduces to a diffusion equation for highly forward directed scatterers. |
