    "abstract": "We analyse theoretically for the first time to our knowledge the perfect\nphase matching of guided TE and TM modes with a multilayer waveguide composed\nof linear isotropic dielectric materials. Alongside strict investigation into\ndispersion relations for multilayer systems, we give an explicit qualitative\nexplanation for the phenomenon of mode matching on the basis of the standard\none-dimensional homogenization technique, and discuss the minimum number of\nlayers and the refractive index profile for the proposed device scheme. Direct\napplications of the scheme include polarization-insensitive, intermodal\ndispersion-free planar propagation, efficient fibre-to-planar waveguide\ncoupling and, potentially, mode filtering. As a self-sufficient result, we\npresent compact analytical expressions for the mode dispersion in a finite,\nN-period, three-layer dielectric superlattice.",
