27. This representation is complicated by the leaky modes supported by the stripe. In this context, some authors prefer to describe the fields in terms of a discrete number of bound and leaky modes as well as a continuum of free-space modes. [For example, see Snyder and Love, Optical Waveguide Theory (Chapman and Hall, New York, 1983)]. For simplicity though, we will speak of the discrete guided solutions and a continuum of radiation modes.
