Numerical Methods in Photonics

<p>Choosing the appropriate computational method for a photonics problem requires a clear understanding of the pros and cons of the available numerical methods. This book presents six of the most frequently used methods: FDTD FDFD 1+1D nonlinear propagation modal method Green's function and FEM. Each method is accompanied by a review of the mathematical principles in which it is based along with sample scripts illustrative examples of characteristic problem solving and exercises. MATLAB<sup>(R)</sup> is used throughout the text.</p>
