An Efficient Krylov-Subspace-Based Algorithm to Solve the Dielectric-Waveguide Problem

摘要

An efficient scheme based on the bi-Lanczos algorithm has been developed for analysis of the dielectric-waveguide problem. A two-dimensional finite-difference scheme in the frequency domain is used to discretize the waveguide cross section. The resulting sparse eigenvalue problem is solved efficiently using the bi-Lanczos algorithm. Apart from solving the modes of the dielectric waveguide, a scheme to solve for the fields in the presence of a localized source is also described. Numerical results are also included to confirm the validity of the method.
