title: Semi-vector iterative method for modes of high-index-contrast nanoscale waveguides.
abstract: An approximate semi-analytical iterative method is presented to find vector modes of high-index contrast single mode waveguides. Present method is developed to provide improvement over scalar analysis of Vopt method. To illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of this method, modal properties of silicon strip nanoscale waveguide are studied in detail and compared with other approximate and rigorous numerical analysis.
