This chapter deals with planar dielectric waveguides, also called slab waveguides, which are possibly the most simple and yet practically useful open waveguides. In this introduction we briefly recall how a bound mode can occur; we also discuss why it is natural to look for the complete spectrum of slab waveguides and what features it should possess.
