Abstract
An extended split-step time-domain model for composite coupling structures is reported. Time-dependent coupled-wave equations are solved by splitting of the operators for phase accumulation, forward directional coupling, and reverse Bragg reflection. Through an analysis of an add–drop filter based on a grating-written directional-coupler structure, the proposed modeling method is shown to be an order of magnitude more efficient than the previous methods.
