## Abstract The method of effective penetration depth is used to produce a novel scalar or polarized finite difference approach for the solution of optical rib waveguide field problems. The new method is quicker than previous finite difference approaches and requires less computer memory. Propagati
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
a b s t r a c t A novel high order finite difference method is introduced for optical waveguides with smoothly curved perfectly electric conducting (PEC) boundaries. The proposed method shares some similarities with our previous matched interface and boundary (MIB) methods developed for treating die
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
The linear time-domain beam propagation method ( ) TD᎐BPM has been extended to model the propagation of pulsed optical beams in second-order nonlinear optical material of integrated wa¨eguides. The coupled nonlinear wa¨e equations ha¨e been deri¨ed and discretized using the explicit finite-differenc
