an approximate analysis of rectangular dielectric waveguides that neglects fields in the corner regions to obtain propagation constants of guided modes.

In photonics and optical engineering, Marcatili approximation refers to an approximate analysis of rectangular dielectric waveguides that neglects fields in the corner regions to obtain propagation constants of guided modes. This meaning comes from Marcatili (1969) in Bell System Technical Journal.[1]
