Accurate modeling of photonic devices is essential for the development of new, higher
performance optical components required by current and future high-bandwidth …

All integrated optical components and devices make use of" waveguides", where light is
confined by total internal reflection. The elements in such" photonic chip" are interconnected …

Simulations of optical guided waves in three-dimensional waveguide structures by a full
vector beam propagation method are described. Two sets of coupled equations governing …

An optical fiber fusion splice is a permanent joint between two fibers that enables the optical
signal, an electromagnetic wave, to pass from one fiber to another. At a fusion splice, the …

The newly developed finite-difference vector beam propagation method (FD-VBPM) is
analyzed and assessed for application to two-dimensional waveguide structures. The …

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The
Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this …

Plasmonics offers strong light localization into subwavelength dimensions beyond the
diffraction limit. Therefore, plasmonics has a significant impact on realizing nanoscale …

We present the use of the Douglas-Gunn Alternating Direction Implicit finite difference
method for computationally efficient simulation of the electric field propagation through a …

This is a tutorial paper on the properties of partially coherent hard x-ray beams and their use
in the structural analysis of condensed matter. The role of synchrotron radiation in the …

By develo** a direct correspondence between a given whispering gallery mode of a
dielectric cylinder and a mode of an equivalent waveguide ring resonator, the evanescent …
