Light propagation in optical waveguides: a dynamic programming approach

Abstract: We apply techniques of optimal-control theory, namely, the methods of dynamic programming, to the problem of light propagation in optical waveguides. This formulation is equivalent to the resolution of an eikonal equation. We illustrate this optimization technique for the case of an ideal parabolic refractive-index-profile distribution. We discuss the possibility of extending this procedure to other types of optical waveguides and optical media.

“…Several models of photon transport and fiber simulation have been introduced in various frameworks including dynamic programming [21], Monte Carlo [22,6,23], finite element analysis [24], and sensitivity analysis [25,26]. Others have considered simulations of electronic readout systems [27] and photomultiplier tubes [28].…”
