The paper is motivated by the need for a fast robust adaptive multigrid method to solve complex Helmholtz eigenvalue problems arising from the design of optical chips. 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.
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.

Transparent Boundary Conditions for a Wide-Angle Approximation of the One-Way Helmholtz Equation
(1999)
We present nonlocal discrete transparent boundary conditions for a fourth-order wide-angle approximation of the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation. The boundary conditions are exact in the sense that they supply the same discrete solution on a bounded interior domain as would be obtained by considering the problem on the entire unbounded domain with zero boundary conditions at infinity. The proposed algorithm results in an unconditionally stable propagation method. Numerical examples from optics illustrate the efficiency of our approach.
