What Does ESW Stand For?
ESW stands for Equivalent Slab Waveguide
ESW, or Equivalent Slab Waveguide, refers to a theoretical model used in the study of wave propagation in optical and microwave systems. It simplifies the analysis of complex waveguide structures by approximating them as a uniform slab, allowing for easier mathematical treatment of modes and dispersion characteristics. This model is particularly useful in understanding guided wave behavior in integrated optics and photonic devices, aiding in the design and optimization of waveguide-based technologies.
