Abstract :
A vectorial beam propagation method (VBPM) is formulated and implemented using the explicit finite difference (EFD) scheme. The accuracy of semivectorial EFD-BPM, where the polarisation coupling is ignored but polarisation dependence is included, is found to be as good as that of full-vectorial EFD-BPM.
