In this paper planar waveguides with Kerr-type nonlinearity are considered. By using an effective refractive index method and everaging, an implicit dispersion relation is obtained analiticaly for the waveguides. This dispersion relation can simplify numerical calculation in obtaining dispersion curves. Dispersion relation curves with different averaging schemes for symmetric planar waveguides are shown here.
