Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A unified finite element beam propagation method is described for both quasi-TE and quasi-TM modes propagating in 3-D optical waveguides. In order to avoid nonphysical reflections from the computational window edges, the transparent boundary condition is introduced for both polarizations. The present algorithm using the Pade approximation is, to our knowledge, the first wide-angle finite element beam propagation method for 3-D waveguide structures. To show the validity and usefulness of this approach, numerical results are shown for Gaussian beam propagation in free space and quasi-TE mode propagation in a Y-junction.
