The modal analysis is needed for the design of photonic waveguide devices to determine propagation constants of guided modes and their field pattern. Rigorous methods based on finite-difference or finite-element methods for the approximation of wave equations rely on the solution of eigenvalue problems. Imaginary-distance beam propagation methods require the solution of matrix equations of high order...
