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.

Our method supplies boundary conditions for the $\theta$-family of implicit one-step discretizations of Schrödinger's equation in time. The use of Mikusi\'nski's operator approach in time avoids direct and inverse transforms between time and frequency domains and thus implements the boundary conditions in a direct manner.

N2 - The paper presents a construction scheme of deriving transparent , i. e. reflection-free, boundary conditions for the numerical solution of Fresnel's equation (being formally equivalent to Schrödinger's equation). These boundary conditions appear to be of a nonlocal Cauchy type. As it turns out, each kind of linear implicit discretization induces its own discrete transparent boundary conditions.

N2 - An adaptive approach to the numerical solution of the wave propagation in integrated optics devices with 1D cross sections is described. First, Fresnel's approximation of the exact wave equation resulting from Maxwell's equations is considered. A criterion to estimate the validity of this approximation is derived. Fresnel's wave equation being formally equivalent to Schroedinger's equation uniquely defines an initial-boundary-value problem, which is solved numerically by a stepwise calculation of the propagating field. Discretization in longitudinal direction first with stepsize control leads to a stationary subproblem for the transversal field distribution, which is then handled by an adaptive finite element method. Thus full adaptivity of the algorithm is realized. The numerical examples are concentrated on taper structures playing an essential role in integrated optics devices for telecommunication systems.
