Abstract: | A wide angle beam propagation algorithm is presented, which is based on generalized transmission line (GTL) equations. Besides the discretization, no further approximation is introduced. In principle, a full vectorial analysis is possible, and anisotropic material can be taken into account. The algorithm has been verified for planar 2D-waveguide devices. The wide angle characteristic has been examined by determining the propagation of tilted Gaussian beams in homogeneous media. Further studies were performed for tilted waveguides and for taper structures. Results for the latter devices were compared with other methods showing a very good agreement. |
