Reconsideration of photonic tunneling through undersized waveguides

All the previous studies on photonic tunneling are just based on a simple and directly analogy with a one-dimensional quantum-mechanical tunneling, without taking into account the horizontal structure of electromagnetic waves along the waveguide, such that they are oversimplified and incomplete. Here we present a more serious deliberation on photonic tunneling through cut-off waveguides, and obtain a strictly theoretical model with some new results.
