Abstract :
The generalised Fourier variational (GFV) method is implemented for the analysis of optoelectronic structures incorporating two new features: multiple layers and complex refractive indices. This extended method is validated by calculating complex propagation constants for commonly occurring types of index-guided laser geometries. The method produces highly accurate complex results by simple means, and is very fast
