Abstract
A propagation algorithm based on finite elements and a finite difference discretisation of the scalar wave equation is investigated as an alternative to the beam propagation method. The new approach overcomes the assumption of low contrast media in the BPM and allows the propagation of arbitrary input fields in strongly guiding structures.
