Typical features of the technological problem are its geometric complexity, its multiscale structure, the possible occurrence of eigenvalue clusters, and the necessity of quite stringent required relative error tolerances. For reasons of sheer computational complexity, multigrid methods must be used to solve the discretized eigenvalue problems and adaptive grids must be automatically constructed to avoid an undesirable blow-up of the required number of nodes for these accuracies. In view of the problem specifications, an adaptive multigrid method based on Rayleigh quotient minimization, simultaneous eigenspace iteration, and conjugate gradient method as smoother is carefully selected. Its performance in the numerical simulation of a component of a rather recent optical chip (heterodyne receiver of HHI) is documented.}, language = {de} }
