Abstract :
A novel explicit finite difference beam propagation method is developed and applied to the analysis of a strongly guiding semiconductor rib waveguide Y-junction. Its accuracy is confirmed by comparison with reported results. This method is much more efficient than the standard beam propagation method for the rib waveguide analysis.
