TY - GEN A1 - Yevick, David A1 - Friese, Tilmann A1 - Schmidt, Frank T1 - A Comparison of Transparent Boundary Conditions for the Fresnel Equation N2 - We establish the relationship between the transparent boundary condition (BPP) of Baskakov and Popov [Wave Motion 14 (1991) 121-128] and Pakpadakis et. al. [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 92 (1992) 2030-2038] and a second boundary condition (SDY) introduced by Schmidt and Deuflhard [Comp. Math. Appl. 29 (1995) 53-76] and Schmidt and Yevick [J. Compu. Phys. 134 (1997) 96-107], that is explicitly tailored to the form of the underlying numerical propagation scheme. Our analysis demonstrates that if the domain is first discretized in the propagation direction, the SDY expression can be obtained by applying the exact sequence of steps used to derive the BPP procedure. The BPP method is thus an approximate realization of the computationally far simpler and unconditionally stable SDY boundary condition.

Our nonlinear multigrid methods are based on a previous method for the scalar Helmholtz equation, which must be modified to cope with the null space of the Maxwell operator due to the divergence condition. We present two different approaches. First, we present a multigrid algorithm based on an edge element discretization of time-harmonic Maxwell's equations, including the divergence condition. Second, an explicit elimination of longitudinal magnetic components leads to a nodal discretization known to avoid discrete \emph{spurious modes} also and a vectorial eigenvalue problem, for which we present a multigrid solver. Numerical examples show that the edge element discretization clearly outperforms the nodal element approach.

A nonlinear multigrid method is developed, which can be regarded as an extension of a previous adaptive Rayleigh quotient minimization method for selfadjoint Helmholtz eigenproblems. Since the complex Helmholtz operator is just a compact nonselfadjoint perturbation of a selfadjoint operator, linear algebra techniques like Schur decomposition can be extended from the finite dimensional case. The efficiency of the derived adaptive nonlinear multigrid method is illustrated by computations for a technologically relevant integrated optics component containing Multi Quantum Well Layers.

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.
