To better elucidate the essential energy transmission mechanism in the most common, typical waveguides, the electromagnetic energy flow lines for a planar optical slab waveguide and a microwave rectangular waveguide are constructed. The obtained results supply more direct and transparent insight into the distribution of electromagnetic energy in the modes of various character.
