Rigorous time-domain analysis of dielectric optical waveguides using Hertzian potentials formulation.
This work analyzes a new simulation approach to the evaluation of the time-domain electromagnetic (EM) field by reducing the number of equations to solve. Scalar Helmholtz-equations are utilized in order to determine the electric and magnetic Hertzian-potentials that yield the EM field. The method is applied to the example of optical waveguide arrays by considering the field-perturbation effect due to high dielectric contrast and dielectric discontinuities. The rigorous Hertzian potentials formulation is extended to bi-dimensional structures.
