Extension of an FFT-Based Beam Propagation Method to Plasmonic and Dielectric Waveguide Discontinuities and Junctions

We adapted a fast Fourier transform-based Beam Propagation Method (FFT-BPM) to investigate waveguide discontinuities in plasmonic waveguides. The adaptation of the FFT-BPM to treat transverse magnetic (TM) fields requires the circumvention of two major difficulties: the mixed derivatives of the magn...
