We review the various forms of the coupled‐mode theory for optical waveguides. One subtle distinction between two different formulations of the conventional coupled‐mode theory is pointed out. Comparison of accuracy between them and the recently formulated new theory is conducted for the two‐ and three‐slab waveguide structures.
