Abstract

In order to realise the full potential of eigenmode expansion models, advanced boundary conditions are required that can absorb the radiation impinging on the walls of the discretisation volume. In this paper, we will discuss and compare a number of these boundary conditions, like perfectly matched layers (PMLs), open (leaky mode) boundary conditions and transparent boundary conditions (TBCs). We will also introduce the case of PMLs with infinite absorption and discuss its relation to leaky mode expansion, leading to a deeper insight into the physics of PML.
