Original abstract

Two different in-house software tools for numerical modelling of structures with a very high refractive index contrast and a strong Kerr nonlinearity are briefly presented. Results of their application for modelling nonlinear nanophotonic and nanoplasmonic directional couplers based on slot waveguide geometry are successfully mutually compared and assessed.

Czech abstract

Článek stručně prezentuje dva nově vyvinuté softwarové nástroje pro numerické modelování fotonických struktur s vysokým kontrastem indexu lomu a silnou kerrovskou nelinearitou. Metody jsou aplikovány k simulaci nelineárních nanofotonických a nanoplazmonických vazebních členů, které jsou založeny na štěrbinových vlnovodech.
