Zl. Ju et al., AN EXPLICIT AND STABLE TIME-DOMAIN METHOD FOR SIMULATION WAVE-PROPAGATION IN OPTICAL STRUCTURES, Microwave and optical technology letters, 14(4), 1997, pp. 249-252
An explicit and stable time-domain method that solves the propagation
of wave envelopes in optical structures is proposed. Based on the Dufo
rt-Frankel method and variable change, it is an explicit difference ap
proach. The method requires less memory and CPU time and is applied to
the propagation of a 500-fs pulse in a diffusive waveguide and in pla
nar waveguides over 2 mm. Transient behavior of the pulse and the effe
cts of waveguide parameters are given. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc
