Review text

The finite element method is used in numerical treatment of solving the Helmholtz eigenvalue equation for electric field of guided waves in an optical fiber of an arbitrary cross-sectional profile. For this purpose, a suitable transparent boundary condition is constructed which eases the problem by reducing the infinite domain around the fiber to a bounded one. The applied method has no spurious solutions and allows for an optimal convergence of results.
