Computational Photonics

Computational Photonics provides a comprehensive coverage of modern numerical modelling techniques for designing photonic devices for use in modern optical telecommunications systems. In addition the book presents the state–of–the–art in computational photonics techniques, covering methods such as full–vectorial element beam propagation, bidirectional beam, complex–envelope alternative direction implicit finite difference time domain, multiresolution time domain, and finite volume time domain.
 
The book guides the reader through the concepts of modelling, analysing, designing and optimising the performance of a wide range of photonic devices by building their own numerical code using these methods. An accompanying website containing the codes representing the numerical techniques and several design examples is provided in support of the book.
