A local boundary condition coupled to a finite element method to compute guided modes of optical fibres under the weak guidance assumptions

An efficient method coupling a local boundary condition to a finite element technique is proposed to compute guided modes of optical fibres under the weak guidance assumptions. This method is designed to provide accurate solutions for optical fibres with no restriction on their shape as well as on their refractive index profile. Several numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate this point. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Iterative computation of derivatives of repeated eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors

Recently the authors proposed a simultaneous iteration algorithm for the computation of the partial derivatives of repeated eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors of matrices depending on several real variables. This paper analyses the properties of that algorithm and extends it in several ways. The previous requirement that the repeated eigenvalue be dominant is relaxed, and the new generalized algorithm given here allows the simultaneous treatment of simple and repeated eigenvalues. Methods for accelerating convergence are examined. Numerical results support our theoretical analysis. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Analytical Results of Eigenstates and Eigenenergies for Three Kinds of Models Describing N-mode Multiphoton Process

We obtain the exact analytical results of all the eigenvalues and eigenstates for three kinds of models describing N-mode multiphoton process without using the assumption of the Bethe ansatz. The exact analytical results of all the eigenstates and eigenvalues are in terms of a parameter λ for three kinds of models describing N-mode multiphoton process. The parameter is shown to be determined by the roots of a polynomial and is solvable analytically or numerically. Moreover, these three kinds of models can be processed with the same procedure.
