A new beam propagation method based on the finite element method (FE-BPM) has been developed for the analysis of nonlinear optical waveguides. A formulation for the FE-BPM that is applicable not only to the TE mode but also to the TM mode is presented. Various techniques for enhancing the performanc

โฆ Synopsis
To the best of the knowledge of the authors, the formulation is carried out for the first time on the finiteelement beam-propagation method for the analysis of the magnetooptic waveguide in which the structure varies dong the propagation direction. The present method is applicable not only to the case in which refractive index difference is small but also to the case for the TE mode and the TM mode propagating in a waveguide with a large refractive index difference. To suppress the spurious reflection from the computational window edges, the transparent boundary condition is applied.

The perfectly matched layer boundary condition is incorporated into the beam propagation method based on a "nite element scheme for 3-D optical waveguides. Not only an approximate scalar formulation but a full-wave formulation is presented. Its e!ectiveness is veri"ed by way of numerical examples.
Perfectly matched anisotropic absorbers are introduced in two-and three-dimensional beam propagation methods. The anisotropic perfectly matched layer does not require the modification of Maxwell's equations, and can be easily implemented in codes which deal with anisotropic materials. Finite-element
