Abstract

Propagation properties, Field Distribution, and its dependency on manufacturing parameters must be understood in order to optimise optical waveguide performance. The necessity for computer analysis grows and gets more challenging as the variety of guiding structures and the dependent factors become more complex. Therefore, theoretical approaches to waveguide analysis are of tremendous importance. The waveguide problems are elaborately and in-depthly analysed in all dimensions using the Finite Element Method (FEM). An approach for calculating an optical fiber's propagation modes is presented in this study. Maxwell's equation is reduced by finite element method analysis to a common eigen value equation requiring symmetric tri-diagonal matrices.
