Simple closed-form expressions are derived for the modal propagation constant and field intensity of stripe-geometry double-heterostructure laser diodes with dielectric profiles of the form epsilon(x) = epsilon(0)-..delta..epsilonVertical Barx/wVertical Bar/sub ..cap alpha../. These expressions are useful for analyzing near-field and far-field data when the parabolic approximation is not sufficiently accurate.
