Abstract
- Abstract: The mapped Galerkin method in solving the full-vector and quasi-vector wave equations in terms of transverse magnetic fields (H-formulation) for optical waveguides with step-index profiles is described. By transforming the whole x–y space onto a unit square and using two-dimensional Fourier series expansion, the modal distributions and propagation constants for optical waveguides are obtained in the absence of boundary truncation. Results for step-index circular fiber, buried rectangular waveguide, and optical rib waveguide are presented. Solutions are good agreed with exact solutions and numerical results by using vector nonlinear iterative method, Fourier operator transform method, and vector beam propagation method.
