14. As discussed in Ref. 13, the use of Fresnel coefficients is not rigorously correct when the dielectric film thickness of a metal-clad waveguide is much smaller than the wavelength of light. For this case a nonlocal model must be employed to describe reflection from a metal. By restricting the integration regime in the calculation of an effective radiative-damping rate, the use of a nonlocal model is not required because the use of Fresnel coefficients produces the same field spectra for the range of normalized transverse wave numbers examined.
