Abstract

An efficient method to model guided and leaky modes of anisotropic dielectric waveguides with arbitratry dielectric tensor ε¯¯ is presented. This method takes advantage of a particular β-formulation approach of the finite element method (FEM), leading to an optimized use of the computational resources.
