Abstract: A method and apparatus models one or more electromagnetic field modes of a waveguide. The method includes sampling a two-dimensional cross-section of the waveguide. The method further includes calculating a first matrix having a plurality of elements and having a first bandwidth using the sampled two-dimensional cross-section of the waveguide. The plurality of elements of the first matrix represents an action of Maxwell's equations on a transverse magnetic field within the waveguide. The method further includes rearranging the plurality of elements of the first matrix to form a second matrix having a second bandwidth smaller than the first bandwidth. The method further includes shifting the second matrix and inverting the shifted second matrix to form a third matrix. The method further includes calculating one or more eigenvalues or eigenvectors of the third matrix corresponding to one or more modes of the waveguide.

Abstract: A method determines the complex scattering function of a portion of a sample under analysis. The method includes providing a magnitude spectrum of a complex spatial Fourier transform of a complex intermediate function. The complex intermediate function is dependent on the complex scattering function of the portion of the sample under analysis. The magnitude spectrum is obtained from power spectrum data of frequency-domain optical coherence tomography of the portion of the sample under analysis. The method further includes providing an estimated phase term of the complex spatial Fourier transform. The method further includes multiplying the magnitude spectrum and the estimated phase term together to generate an estimated complex spatial Fourier transform. The method further includes calculating an inverse Fourier transform of the estimated complex spatial Fourier transform. The inverse Fourier transform of the estimated complex spatial Fourier transform is a spatial function. The method further includes calculating an estimated intermediate function by applying at least one constraint to the inverse Fourier transform of the estimated complex spatial Fourier transform.
