    Second intrinsic normalized mode (q=2) of a symmetric polymer optical waveguide for the wedge angle a=0.03 rad. The dashed graph represents the normalized intrinsic field at a thickness of W=3 μm, and the solid line represents the intrinsic field at thickness W=0.4, which is lower than the cut-off thickness.

The dashed graph represents the normalized intrinsic field at a thickness of W=3μm, and the solid line represents the intrinsic field at thickness W=0.4, which is lower than the cut-off thickness.
    Third intrinsic normalized mode (q=3) of a symmetric polymer optical waveguide for the wedge angle a=0.03 rad. The dashed graph represents the normalized intrinsic field at a thickness of W=4 μm, and the solid line represents the field at a thickness of W=0.9, which is lower than the cut-off thickness.
