摘要
The beam propagation method (BPM) is a powerful and manageable method for the analysis of wave propagation along weakly guiding optical waveguides. However, the effects of reflected waves are not considered in the original BPM. In this paper, we propose two simple modifications of the BPM to make it relevant in characterizing abrupt discontinuities in weakly guiding waveguides at which a significant amount of reflection is expected to be observed. Validity of the present modifications is confirmed by the numerical results for abrupt discontinuities in step-index slab waveguides and butt-joints between different slab waveguides.
