Waveguide Mode Solver
Calculate the electromagnetic eigenmodes and propagation constants of optical waveguides using the finite difference method. Features:
1. Includes vector, semivector, and scalar versions.
2. Can solve for all components of E and H.
3. Allows for perfectly-matched boundary layers.
4. Can model transverse anisotropic materials.
5. Several examples included

Version | Published | Release Notes | |
---|---|---|---|
1.2.0.0 | Corrected bug in stretchmesh routine for south and west boundaries. Also corrected a bug in wgmodes and svmodes in which dy was incorrected conjugated. (Thanks to Jiri Petracek for discovering this bug.) |
||
1.1.0.0 | Minor modifications in the examples, and contour plotting subroutine. |
||
1.0.0.0 | Corrected an algebraic error in the expressions for the coefficients Axy(E), Axy(W), Axy(N) and Axy(S). Many thanks to yuchunlu_china@hotmail.com for pointing out this bug. |
