An Optical Mode-Matching Method With Improved Accuracy and Efficiency
Abstract
Two fundamental principles of the mode-matching method-mode orthogonality and tangential field continuity conditions have been revisited in depth. With a finite number of modes employed in the conventional method, the tangential field continuity condition at the waveguide-discontinuity interface fails leading to a field mismatch error. We propose an alternate, superior mode-matching method implemented by reconstruction of the auxiliary …
