Improved full-vectorial beam propagation method with high accuracy for arbitrary optical waveguides

An improved finite-difference (FD) full-vectorial beam propagation method is introduced for arbitrary optical waveguides with a dramatic improvement in accuracy. This method is developed based on the generalized Douglas scheme and a novel FD formula for the cross-coupling terms which, expressed in explicit form, is independent of specific types of waveguides. The present method is demonstrated for a strongly guiding rib waveguide.
