17. In the case where the slab lies on a substrate, the first guided-mode band has a non-zero cut-off frequency. The emitted radiation below the cut-off is almost entirely funneled into the substrate.

20. TE modes are defined in a uniform slab as the modes for which the electric field is polarized parallel to the slab. In the case of a non-uniform dielectric slab, the modes are not purely TB or purely TM, but rather TE-like or TM-like.
