Abstract
choice of methods suitable for modeling high-refractive-index photonic waveguide structures is reviewed. Special attention is paid to methods based on mode matching. Basics of the transfer matrix mode solvers for multilayer structures, the (two-dimensional) bidirectional mode expansion and propagation method, and the film mode matching methods for straight and bent waveguides and circular microresonators with two-dimensional cross-sections are described in some detail.
