Constructing a partially transparent computational boundary for UPPE using leaky modes
arXiv:1904.00834 · doi:10.1063/1.5099193
Abstract
In this paper we introduce a method for creating a transparent computational boundary for the simulation of unidirectional propagation of optical beams and pulses using leaky modes. The key element of the method is the introduction of an artificial-index material outside a chosen computational domain and utilization of the quasi-normal modes associated with such artificial structure. The method is tested on the free space propagation of TE electromagnetic waves. By choosing the material to have appropriate optical properties one can greatly reduce the reflection at the computational boundary. In contrast to the well-known approach based on a perfectly matched layer, our method is especially well suited for spectral propagators.
