Rib Waveguide Theory by the Spectral Index Method (Electronic and Electrical Engineering Research Studies Optoelectronics Series)

The analysis of semiconductor rib waveguides has, until now, relied upon very large finite difference or finite element calculations, sometimes using array processors. Here is a comprehensive introduction to the new spectral index method--a fast, accurate, reliable and stable method for finding waveguide propagation constants using Fourier methods. Shows researchers and professionals the field specific state-of-the-art problem-solving methods as well as wider applications in the many similar circumstances where both reliability and accuracy are considered mandatory.
