Abstract
A numerical approach for transition problems in optical waveguides is presented, with the use of the Fourierโseries expansion method combined with the absorbing boundary condition by a perfectly matched layer (PML). The optical propagation along a transition is described by a simple matrix algebra. The numerical examples demonstrate that the radiation modes with wider propagation angle are strongly attenuated in the presence of PML, and hence unwanted interference of the boundaryโreflected radiation field to the guided wave field is suppressed. ยฉ 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The finite difference in the frequency domain (FD-FD) method is used here to analyze the propagation characteristics of a lossy dielectric waveguide. These characteristics are optically controlled by means of light incidence on a semiconductor layer positioned on the dielectric waueguide. In the for

We find the title paper both useful and very interesting and we would like to congratulate the authors to their work [1]. On the other hand it is also the purpose of this letter to add some pertinent references which have been inadvertently omitted by the authors. Reference [2] deals with elastical
