Summary:

"In this book, the author derives four beam modeling and simulation methods for optical waveguides, starting from Maxwell's equation. These techniques include: split-step fast Fourier transform, finite difference, and harmonic expansion. The harmonic expansion technique is new and is the world's fastest electromagnetic beam propagation technique. He also derives a full-vectoral beam propagation method. Computer software is provided for solving all example problems."-- Provided by publisher.
