Here's an abbreviated lesson on how a trapped photon in a lossless-totally -reflecting
section of a fiber optic wave guide works, Frank.
"Consider an axisymmetric tube of arbitrary cross section made of some dielectric material and surrounded by a vacuum. This structure can serve as a wave guide provided that the dielectric constant of the material is sufficiently large. Note, however, that the boundary conditions satisfied by the electromagnetic fields are significantly different to those of a conventional wave guide. The transverse fields are governed by two equations; one for the region inside the dielectric, and the other for the vacuum region."
"The oscillatory solutions (inside) must be matched to the exponentiating solutions (outside). The boundary conditions are the continuity of normal 
and 
and tangential 
and 
on the surface of the tube. These boundary conditions are far more complicated than those in a conventional wave guide. For this reason, the normal modes cannot usually be classified as either pure TE or pure TM modes. In general, the normal modes possess both electric and magnetic field components in the transverse plane. However, for the special case of a cylindrical tube o!
f dielectric material the normal modes can have either pure TE or pure TM characteristics."
