Abstract:
This paper proposes some improvement of the method of matched sinusoidal modes, based on the application of the matrix form of the characteristic equation. The method was implemented using the Matlab 6.0 software package and applied to the scalar theory analysis of eigenmodes of a waveguide produced in the form of a photonic crystal.

Keywords:
optical waveguide, cross-section, sinusoidal matching method, matrix, Matlab 6.0, scalar theory, photonic crystal.
