J. Xu et al., APPROXIMATE METHODS FOR MODAL REFLECTIVITY AT OPTICAL WAVE-GUIDE FACETS, Journal of the Optical Society of America. A, Optics, image science,and vision., 12(4), 1995, pp. 725-728
We compare several rapid approximation methods for the modal reflectio
n coefficients of uncoated and coated discontinuous slab-waveguide int
erfaces. We further extend our previously proposed split-operator tech
nique to the modal reflectivities of semiconductor ridge waveguides.
