Abstract

In this contribution will be shown how optical resonators can be analyzed in an efficient way. The structure should be symmetric with two symmetry planes S₁ - S₁ and S₂ - S₂. Therefore only a quarter of it with different walls at the symmetry planes must be analysed. The quarter is subdivided into different parts. In homogeneous parts the MoL is used and in the inhomogeneous ones an adequate FD-algorithm based on the GTL-equations.
