Abstract

We present an analysis of numerical results illustrating the potentials of a new method for calculating guided waves in optical fibers and dispersion curves of corresponding eigenvalues. The earlier proposed finite element method is based on a special exact non-reflecting boundary condition and mathematically justified. For linear Lagrangian elements, the analysis demonstrates that the speed of convergence of the presented algorithm is quadratic, which corresponds to previously obtained theoretical estimates.
