Abstract

Accurate and flexible simulation techniques for light propagation through components made out of optical anisotropic media are highly demanded. However it is found that most of the existing methods discuss only on specific cases, like for certain types of incident fields, or for certain kinds of anisotropies. We present, based on the previous works of various researchers, a comprehensive numerical approach that deals with arbitrary electromagnetic fields and any kind of optical anisotropy. Various examples are presented to show the validity.
