Abstract

Approximate analytical solutions of the waves and fields inside and outside the coupling region for an arbitrary number of propagating modes of all kinds and an arbitrary number of couplings and mode conversions are presented. The method is applied to the propagation of electromagnetic fields in a plane- stratified cold plasma as an illustrative example.
