Synopsis

This book, the third in the Series, describes a very efficient and robust method to give a complete description of the spectrum of microwave and optical waveguides and waveguide-based devices, including propagating, evanescent and radiating modes. The method can be implemented on a personal computer and in a form which is not dependent on the specific problem. Full details of the mathematical formulation and its finite element implementation are given, together with a variety of examples. The method presented in this book is based on transverse fields only for maximum economy, and it is free from spurious solutions. Maximum efficiency is also achieved by solving directly for the propagation constant and taking full advantage of the sparsity of the matrices involved.

About this title

Synopsis

This text presents a method which can be implemented on a personal computer for providing a complete description of the spectrum of microwave and optical waveguides, including propagating, evanescent and radiating modes. Full details of the mathematical formulation and its finite element implementation are given together with a variety of examples. It also provides ideas on how to solve sparse matrix eigenvalue problems more quickly and a number of state-of-the-art examples in microwaves and optoelectronics.
