Abstract We propose the concept of an incident angle in the form of complex number and analyse planar optical waveguides by applying the concept. The complex angle of incidence is concerned with the modelling of prism–gap–waveguide structures. It is shown that, when optical waveguides are analysed by means of the transfer matrix method, the proposed concept enables us to find solutions faster and more accurately than by using the method utilizing the leaky structure.
