Abstract
We present a novel full-vector beam-propagation method where the discretization of Maxwell´s equations is performed by finite integration (FIBPM). This allows us to include thin layers of complex permittivity without increasing mesh density. A FIBPM code for a massively parallel computer has been developed and applied successfully to laser diode structures.<>
