Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: An iterative numerical solution to the Maxwell equations, with Runge-Kutta-based beam propagation method (RK-BPM) in the k-domain developed by H. Zhong et al . [ Opt. Express 28 , 11074 ( 2020 ) 10.1364/OE.388376 ] as the iteration kernel, is presented in this work to deal with the simulation of micro-/nanostructures, particularly for those in large sizes. This method extends the previous work on the RK-BPM by incorporating with the iterative boundary condition scheme from A. Junker and K. H. Brenner [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. A 35 , 377 ( 2018 ) 10.1364/JOSAA.35.000377 ], so to make it capable of modeling complex structures with multiple internal reflections with both high accuracy and efficiency.
