Abstract:
The development of numerical methods and the advances in the field of computer technology provide for the numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations. Thus, it is possible to simulate the process of radiation propagation in various media by imposing the appropriate boundary conditions and substituting the parameters of the media into the equations. The paper [1] presents a difference method for solving Maxwell’s equations and obtains the
results for optical integrated circuits. In our work, we study gradient media and diffractive optical elements. For this purpose, we use a “push-pull” difference scheme, which allows to study gradient fibers at short distances and the diffractive optical elements directly behind their plane. The difference method is implemented for solving Maxwell’s equations in Cartesian coordinates for the case of a TE polarized wave. A similar scheme can be developed for the TM polarization under other boundary conditions .
