Description in English
The aim of the project is to develop a novel method for the analysis of waveguide devices. The method will be used for calculation of propagation constants and corresponding fields of eigenmodes in 2D and 3D waveguides, and for simulation of beam propagation in 2D photonic devices as well. The method should be full vectorial, i.e. it should describe hybrid modes. The method should be able to analyse great variety of problems regardless of the underlying geometry and refractive index profile. The refractive index can be complex, i.e. photonic device can contain active and/or passive media, including metals. Efficiency, accuracy and reliability of the method should be better than performance of commonly used methods. The numerical technique shouldbe based on the film mode matching method.
