ABSTRACT
				The devices of rib waveguides on SOI with large cross-section are widely used in modern communication system. It is necessary to verification the single-mode condition proposed in historical papers. The scalar finite difference beam propagation method is used to solve the guide modes supported by rib waveguides. It is verified that the precision of single-mode condition in horizontal direction can reach better accuracy if the constant in equation is changed from 0.3 to 0.23.
