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

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
A noniterative finite element beam propagation method (FE-BPM) with a transmission matrix that can treat reflection waves is described for quasi-TE modes propagating in 3-D optical waveguides. The PadΓ© approximation is used for wide-angle beam propagation analysis, and a new approach for determining
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
