Preface

Simulation and modelling using numerical methods running on computers is today one of the key approaches in scientific work within practically all fields of research. In particular, in the field of photonics, a wide range of numerical methods are needed for studying both fundamental optics and applied branches such as the design, development, and optimization of photonic components. The topic of numerical modelling is thus becoming an increasing priority in photonics education.

This book evolved from research activities and teaching at three different research institutions. Part of the material (the finite-difference time-domain method, the finite-difference frequency-domain method, and the method for nonlinear propagation) was originally ...
