| Abstract : | We implement the Du Fort-Frankel modified explicit finite-difference beam propagation method (MEFD) to model three-dimensional optical devices using parallel computers. Accuracy comparisons with other parallel FD-BPMs are made, and we observe that the MEFD is very accurate and efficient. The parallel implementation of MEFD shows a large run-time computer savings compared to other parallel FD-BPM algorithms. (C) 2000 John Wiley Sons, Inc., |
