Modal Fields Calculation Using the Finite Difference Beam Propagation Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method is described to construct modal fields for an arbitrary oneor two-dimensional refractive index structure. An arbitrary starting field is propagated along a complex axis using the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA). By choosing suitable values for the step-size, one mode is maximally increased in amplitude on propagating, until convergence has been obtained. For the calculation of the next mode, the mode just found is filtered out, and the procedure starts again. The method is tested for one-dimensional refractive index structures, both for nonabsorbing and for absorbing structures, and is shown to give fast convergence.

متن کاملMPI- and CUDA- implementations of modal finite difference method for P-SV wave propagation modeling
Among different discretization approaches, Finite Difference Method (FDM) is widely used for acoustic and elastic full-wave form modeling. An inevitable deficit of the technique, however, is its sever requirement to computational resources. A promising solution is parallelization, where the problem is broken into several segments, and the calculations are distributed over different processors. ...
