The eigenvalue problem for guided modes of integrated optical guides is formulated as a problem for the set of time-harmonic Maxwell’s equations. The original problem is reduced to a strongly-singular domain integral equation, which is often used in practice for computation, and it is proved that the operator of the domain integral equation is a Fredholm operator with zero index. It is also proved that the spectrum of the original problem can only be a set of isolated points.
