Abstract
The imaginary-distance beam propagation method[1-5] is a rigorous numerical technique for calculating the transverse eigen- modes of optical waveguides. For finite difference calculations of the fundamental mode, we show how the rate of convergence may be optimized so much less iterations are needed.
