Abstract

We apply the Muller boundary integral equation (MBIE) method to study the scattering properties of an arbitrary configuration of parallel cylinders. The method has been successfully applied to simulate isolated arbitrary-shape dielectric objects (Boriskina, S.V. et al., Opt. Soc. Am. A, vol.21, no.3, p.393-402, 2004), and is now generalized to account for the mutual interactions among various integrated optoelectronic components. As test examples, the scattering of plane waves and beams by two cylinders and a Bragg grating are considered and the results are compared to series expansion solutions.
