Abstract
A review of the characterisation of optical guided-wave devices using modal solutions, junction analysis and the beam propagation method, based on the numerically efficient finite element method, is presented. Numerically simulated results for mode propagation in optical waveguides and the characterisation of various photonic devices, such as photonic crystal fibres, semiconductor optical amplifiers, spot-size converters, power splitters and single polarisation waveguides, are presented.
