Abstract

It is shown that suitable modifications of the free-space-propagation operator in the standard fast-Fourier-transform beam propagation procedure yield a far more rapid code in the context of semiconductor rib waveguide calculations. The procedure curtails the diffraction experienced by the high-order Fourier components of the electric field and mirrors the structure of the recently introduced finite-difference beam propagation algorithm. It is used to investigate the propagation losses of a Y-junction composed of single-mode rib waveguides and illuminated by its normalized guided mode.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
