A complete survey of modern design and analysis techniques foroptical waveguides This volume thoroughly details modern and widely accepted methodsfor designing the optical waveguides used in telecommunicationssystems. It offers a straightforward presentation of thesophisticated techniques used in waveguide analysis and enables aquick grasp of modern numerical methods with easy mathematics. Thebook is intended to guide the reader to a comprehensiveunderstanding of optical waveguide analysis through self-study.This comprehensive presentation includes: * An extensive and exhaustive list of mathematicalmanipulations * Detailed explanations of common design methods: finite elementmethod (FEM), finite difference method (FDM), beam propagationmethod (BPM), and finite difference time-domain method(FD-TDM) * Explanations for numerical solutions of optical waveguideproblems with sophisticated techniques used in moderncomputer-aided design (CAD) software * Solutions to Maxwell's equations and the Schrodingerequation The authors provide excellent self-study material forpractitioners, researchers, and students, while also presentingdetailed mathematical manipulations that can be easily understoodby readers who are unfamiliar with them. Introduction to OpticalWaveguide Analysis presents modern design methods in acomprehensive and easy-to-understand format.
