The imaginary-distance method is applied to an improved finite-difference beam propagation method (IFD-BPM) based on the generalized Douglas method in order to carry out eigenvalue analysis of an optical waveguide. First, we formulate the IFD-BPM to include the polarization dependence. The imaginary

In the paper a novel finite-integration beam-propagation method (FIBPM) is presented. This method is especially suited for the simulation of optical waveguides containing extremely thin layers of complex permittivity. For calculating the propagating optical field an efficient algorithm based on expa
We in¨estigate the numerical instability of a finitedifference beam-propagation formulation applied to tapered optical wa¨eguides, and we find that instability may occur with the use of con¨entional transparent boundary conditions. We suggest modified transparent boundary conditions to remo¨e the in
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
