Abstract :
A universal and efficient iterative scheme for solving eigenproblems is presented. It is based on a functional analysis approach. Several variants of numerical implementation of the method are proposed. The application to the problem of electromagnetic waves propagation in anisotropic waveguides with arbitrary transversal inhomogeneity of the permittivity is specified. Several examples of the computed mode vector fields in various complex dielectric guiding structures are shown
