1 Introduction

In this paper we investigate the problem of determinationof dielectric constants of core and cladding in optical fibersusing measurements of propagation constant Such kinds ofproblems arise in determination of electromagnetic parame-ters in nanocomposite materials in nanoengineering Theseparameters cannot be measured experimentally because ofnanocomposite type of materials [1]

There are many nondestructive material characterizationtechniques for obtaining permittivities of dielectric materials(see a short review of recent results in [2]) For the firsttime the problem of complex permittivity determination inclosed rectangular waveguides using propagation constantmeasurements was investigated in [3] For open dielectricwaveguides of arbitrary cross-section such problems can beset up as inverse eigenvalue problems [4] of the theory ofoptical waveguides [5] Problems described in [4] are basedon integral formulations of the underlying equations

Inverse problems for determining of dielectric permittiv-ity were studied in many works see for example [6ndash9] andreferences therein In [10] authors present reconstructionof complex permittivity using finite difference time-domain(FDTD) method In [11 12] an analytical method for recon-struction of permittivity of a lossy arbitrary shaped bodyinside a three-dimensional waveguide using transmitted and

reflected data was developed Results of [11 12] are based onthe volume singular integral equation (VSIE) method [8 9]for the system of Maxwellrsquos equations

The new approximately globally convergent method forreconstruction of permittivity function was developed in[13] This method was further verified on computationallysimulated and on experimental data in [14ndash22] An adaptiveversion of the globally convergent method is developed andcomputationally verified for the first time in [23] In recentworks [16 17 21] reconstruction of the spatially distributeddielectric functions and shapes of objects placed in the airas well as of buried objects in the dry sand from blindbackscattered experimental data using two-stage numericalprocedure of [13 15 24] is presented In the first stage in[16 21 22] the approximately globally convergent methodof [13] is applied to get a good first approximation for theexact permittivity function Then the local adaptive finiteelement method of [25 26] is used in the second stage torefine the solution obtained in the first stage Results of thisstage are presented in [15 17] An approximately globallyconvergent algorithm in a frequency domain for the caseof reconstruction of dielectric function in an optical fiber isrecently presented in [27]

The method investigated in this work significantly differsfrom the above described techniques Compared with [16ndash21 27] we use measurements of the propagation constant

instead of the electric field data which is typical for waveg-uides applications Our new algorithms use solution of inte-gral equation over the boundary of a waveguide and thus theyare less computationally expensive compared with methodsof [11 12] which are also based on the volume singular integralequation (VSIE) technique [8 9] The models of [11 12]require the solution of three-dimensional vector problemsand thus they aremore computationally demanding and needpowerful computer resources

We note that two mathematical models of optical waveg-uides were investigated in detail by methods of integralequations in [19 20 28ndash34] In [19 20 28ndash31] the model ofstep-indexwaveguideswas studied and in [32ndash34] themodelof waveguides without a sharp boundary was studied Areview of modern results in this field is given in [35] To solveour eigenvalue problem we are not requiring the informationabout specific values of eigenfunctions In our algorithmsit is enough only to know that the fundamental mode isexcited and then to measure its propagation constant for oneor two frequencies Main applications of our algorithm arefor example in detection of defects in metamaterials and innanoelectronics [36 37] calculation of dielectric constant ofsaline water [38 39] and in microwave imaging technologyin remote sensing [40]

An outline of this paper is a follows In Section 2 wefirst present a mathematical model of a weakly guiding step-index arbitrarily shaped optical fiber and formulate threeinverse spectral problems Then we present new numeri-cal algorithms for calculation of dielectric constants basedon an approximate solution of a nonlinear nonselfadjointeigenvalue problem for a system of weakly singular integralequations In Section 3 we present reconstruction resultswhich show efficiency and robustness of new developedalgorithms

In forward eigenvalue problems the permittivity isknown and it is necessary to calculate longitudinal wavenum-bers 119896 = 120596radic12057601205830 and propagation constants 120573 such thatthere exist eigenmodes The eigenmodes have to satisfy to atransparency condition at the boundary 120574 and to a conditionat infinity

In inverse eigenvalue problems it is necessary to recon-struct the unknown permittivity 120576 by some information onnatural eigenmodes which exist for some eigenvalues 119896 and120573 The main question is how many observations of naturaleigenmodes are enough for unique and stable reconstructionof the permittivity

The domain Ω119890is unbounded Therefore it is necessary

to formulate a condition at infinity for complex amplitudesE and H of eigenmodes Let us confine ourselves to theinvestigation of the surface modes only The propagationconstants 120573 of surface modes are real and belong to theinterval 119866 = (119896120576

Let 120590 gt 0 be a given number A nonzero function 119906 isin 119880is called an eigenfunction of problem (4)-(5) correspondingto a real eigenvalue 120594 if relationships (4)-(5) hold

The next theorem follows from results of [29]

Theorem 1 For any 120590 gt 0 the eigenvalues 120594 of problem(4)-(5) can be only positive isolated numbers Each number 120594depends continuously on 120590

For waveguides of circular cross-section the analogousresults about the localization of the surface modes spectrumand about the continuous dependence between the transversewavenumbers 120590 and 120594 were obtained in [5] The results of [5]are valid only for waveguides of circular cross-section by themethod of separation of variables Theorem 1 generalizes theresults of [5] for the case of an arbitrary smooth boundaryThe next theorem follows from results of [34] (see anillustration in Figure 2)

Theorem 2 The following statements hold(1) For any 120590 gt 0 there exist the denumerable set of positive

eigenvalues120594119894(120590) where 119894 = 1 2 of a finitemultiplicity with

only cumulative point at infinity(2) For any 120590 gt 0 the smallest eigenvalue 120594

For a given 120590 gt 0 the smallest eigenvalue 1205941(120590) and

corresponding eigenfunction 1199061define the eigenmode which

is called the fundamental mode (see the bottom curve plottedby the red solid line in Figure 2) Thus Theorem 2 statesparticularly that for any 120590 gt 0 there exists exactly onefundamental mode

To compute eigenmodes we use the representation ofeigenfunctions of problem (4)-(5) in the form of single-layerpotentials [41]

is the eigenfunction of the operator-valued function 119860(120594)

corresponding to the characteristic value 1205940

Let us formulate the nonlinear spectral problem for trans-verse wavenumbers as follows Suppose that the boundary 120574of the waveguidersquos cross-section and the number 120590 gt 0 aregiven It is necessary to calculate all characteristic values 120594 ofthe operator-valued function 119860(120594) in some given interval

A spline-collocation method was proposed in [31] fornumerical calculations of characteristic values 120594 of theoperator-valued function 119860(120594) for given 120590 and problem (15)for each fixed120590was reduced to a nonlinear finite-dimensionaleigenvalue problem of the form

119860119899(120594)119908119899= 0 (20)

where 119899 is the number of collocation points For numericalsolution of obtained nonlinear finite-dimensional eigenvalueproblem we use the residual inverse iteration method [42]

Any iterative numerical method for computations of thenonlinear eigenvalues 120594 needs good initial approximationsfor each given 120590 Usually initial approximations are chosenby a physical intuition using prior information on solutionsIf we model fundamentally new types of waveguides solve

Physics Research International 5

inverse problems or investigate defects in fibers thenwemaynot have accurate prior information on solutions

In this case we can investigate spectral properties of thematrix 119860

119899(120594) as a function of variable 120594 for each fixed 120590 For

each given point in an investigated domain of parameters 120594and 120590 we calculate the condition number of matrix 119860

120588119899

where 1205881and 120588119899are maximal and minimal singular values of

matrix If for given120590 a number120594 is equal to a nonlinear eigen-value of119860

119899(120594) then the condition number is equal to infinity

Therefore the numbers 120594 for which the condition number isbig enough are good approximations for eigenvalues Singularvalues are calculated by singular value decomposition (SVD)method

119860119899(120594) = 119880119878119881 119878 = diag (120588

1 1205882 120588

119899) (22)

where 119880 119881 are unitary matrices and 119878 is a diagonal matrixthe singular numbers form 119878 The calculations are based onunitary transformations of the matrix 119860 and therefore arestable

In the next step for each 120590 in the investigated intervalwe use obtained initial approximations for numerical cal-culations of nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 by the residual inverseiteration method

On the base of solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem(15) for transverse wavenumbers we solve the forward andinverse spectral problems for weakly guiding step-indexwaveguides

22 Forward Spectral Problem Clearly if for given120590 the char-acteristic values 120594 of the operator-valued function119860(120594) werecalculated and also if the permittivities 120576

the longitudinal wavenumber 119896 and the propagation constant120573 are calculated by the following explicit formulas

3 Results and Discussion

Let us describe numerical results obtained for a nonlineareigenvalue problem (15) for transverse wavenumbers Wecompare our numerical results with the well-known exactsolution for the circular waveguide obtained by themethod ofseparation of variables (see eg [5]) In Figure 2 we presentsome dispersion curves for surface eigenwaves of the circularwaveguide Here the exact solution is plotted by solid lines

We started our numerical calculations with computationsof initial approximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 To dothat we have used SVD as was described in Section 21 Cal-culated initial approximations are marked in Figure 2 by bluecircles The blue circles are only the initial approximationsfor eigenvalues 120594 We apply these initial approximations asstart points in the residual inverse iteration method Usingthis iterationmethod for each given 120590 we solved numericallythe finite-dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem (20)depending on eigenvalues 120594 The numerical solution whichresulted in this method is marked in Figure 2 by red crosses

Note here that applying previously calculated initialapproximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 we numericallysolve this problem directly and without any prior physicalinformation Figure 2 illustrates that the initial approxima-tions are good enough and we can use them in the majorityof cases without iterative refinement of solutions

Our next numerical experiment shows reconstruction ofcorersquos permittivity using the algorithm in Section 231 Themathematical analysis of existence of the solution of theoriginal spectral problem (4)-(5) for transverse wavenumbersis presented in Theorems 1 and 2 An illustration of thetheoretical results is shown in Figure 2 Analyzing Figure 2we observe that the fundamental mode (see the red solidcurve in Figure 2) exists for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 Thefundamental mode is unique its dispersion curve does notintersect with any other curves and well separated fromthemTherefore the inverse spectral problemrsquos solution existsand is unique for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 this solutiondepends continuously on given data In other words theinverse spectral problem is well posed by Hadamard We cansee an example of this continuity dependence in Figure 5The red solid line is the plot of the function 120576

In our computations by analogy with [13 14] we haveintroduced random noise in the propagation constant as

120573 = 120573 (1 + 119901120572) (29)

where 120573 = 398518 is the exact measured propagationconstant 120572 isin (minus1 1) are randomly distributed numbersand 119901 is the noise level In our computations we have used119901 = 005 and thus the noise level was 5

sented in Figure 5 The approximated value of 120576+for the

noise-free data is marked in Figure 5 by the blue circleApproximated values of 120576

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms

instead of the electric field data which is typical for waveg-uides applications Our new algorithms use solution of inte-gral equation over the boundary of a waveguide and thus theyare less computationally expensive compared with methodsof [11 12] which are also based on the volume singular integralequation (VSIE) technique [8 9] The models of [11 12]require the solution of three-dimensional vector problemsand thus they aremore computationally demanding and needpowerful computer resources

We note that two mathematical models of optical waveg-uides were investigated in detail by methods of integralequations in [19 20 28ndash34] In [19 20 28ndash31] the model ofstep-indexwaveguideswas studied and in [32ndash34] themodelof waveguides without a sharp boundary was studied Areview of modern results in this field is given in [35] To solveour eigenvalue problem we are not requiring the informationabout specific values of eigenfunctions In our algorithmsit is enough only to know that the fundamental mode isexcited and then to measure its propagation constant for oneor two frequencies Main applications of our algorithm arefor example in detection of defects in metamaterials and innanoelectronics [36 37] calculation of dielectric constant ofsaline water [38 39] and in microwave imaging technologyin remote sensing [40]

An outline of this paper is a follows In Section 2 wefirst present a mathematical model of a weakly guiding step-index arbitrarily shaped optical fiber and formulate threeinverse spectral problems Then we present new numeri-cal algorithms for calculation of dielectric constants basedon an approximate solution of a nonlinear nonselfadjointeigenvalue problem for a system of weakly singular integralequations In Section 3 we present reconstruction resultswhich show efficiency and robustness of new developedalgorithms

permittivity be prescribed as a positive piecewise constantfunction 120576 which is equal to a constant 120576

In forward eigenvalue problems the permittivity isknown and it is necessary to calculate longitudinal wavenum-bers 119896 = 120596radic12057601205830 and propagation constants 120573 such thatthere exist eigenmodes The eigenmodes have to satisfy to atransparency condition at the boundary 120574 and to a conditionat infinity

In inverse eigenvalue problems it is necessary to recon-struct the unknown permittivity 120576 by some information onnatural eigenmodes which exist for some eigenvalues 119896 and120573 The main question is how many observations of naturaleigenmodes are enough for unique and stable reconstructionof the permittivity

The domain Ω119890is unbounded Therefore it is necessary

to formulate a condition at infinity for complex amplitudesE and H of eigenmodes Let us confine ourselves to theinvestigation of the surface modes only The propagationconstants 120573 of surface modes are real and belong to theinterval 119866 = (119896120576

Let 120590 gt 0 be a given number A nonzero function 119906 isin 119880is called an eigenfunction of problem (4)-(5) correspondingto a real eigenvalue 120594 if relationships (4)-(5) hold

The next theorem follows from results of [29]

Theorem 1 For any 120590 gt 0 the eigenvalues 120594 of problem(4)-(5) can be only positive isolated numbers Each number 120594depends continuously on 120590

For waveguides of circular cross-section the analogousresults about the localization of the surface modes spectrumand about the continuous dependence between the transversewavenumbers 120590 and 120594 were obtained in [5] The results of [5]are valid only for waveguides of circular cross-section by themethod of separation of variables Theorem 1 generalizes theresults of [5] for the case of an arbitrary smooth boundaryThe next theorem follows from results of [34] (see anillustration in Figure 2)

Theorem 2 The following statements hold(1) For any 120590 gt 0 there exist the denumerable set of positive

eigenvalues120594119894(120590) where 119894 = 1 2 of a finitemultiplicity with

only cumulative point at infinity(2) For any 120590 gt 0 the smallest eigenvalue 120594

domain Ω119894

For a given 120590 gt 0 the smallest eigenvalue 1205941(120590) and

corresponding eigenfunction 1199061define the eigenmode which

is called the fundamental mode (see the bottom curve plottedby the red solid line in Figure 2) Thus Theorem 2 statesparticularly that for any 120590 gt 0 there exists exactly onefundamental mode

To compute eigenmodes we use the representation ofeigenfunctions of problem (4)-(5) in the form of single-layerpotentials [41]

is the eigenfunction of the operator-valued function 119860(120594)

corresponding to the characteristic value 1205940

Let us formulate the nonlinear spectral problem for trans-verse wavenumbers as follows Suppose that the boundary 120574of the waveguidersquos cross-section and the number 120590 gt 0 aregiven It is necessary to calculate all characteristic values 120594 ofthe operator-valued function 119860(120594) in some given interval

A spline-collocation method was proposed in [31] fornumerical calculations of characteristic values 120594 of theoperator-valued function 119860(120594) for given 120590 and problem (15)for each fixed120590was reduced to a nonlinear finite-dimensionaleigenvalue problem of the form

119860119899(120594)119908119899= 0 (20)

where 119899 is the number of collocation points For numericalsolution of obtained nonlinear finite-dimensional eigenvalueproblem we use the residual inverse iteration method [42]

Any iterative numerical method for computations of thenonlinear eigenvalues 120594 needs good initial approximationsfor each given 120590 Usually initial approximations are chosenby a physical intuition using prior information on solutionsIf we model fundamentally new types of waveguides solve

Physics Research International 5

inverse problems or investigate defects in fibers thenwemaynot have accurate prior information on solutions

In this case we can investigate spectral properties of thematrix 119860

119899(120594) as a function of variable 120594 for each fixed 120590 For

each given point in an investigated domain of parameters 120594and 120590 we calculate the condition number of matrix 119860

119899

cond (119860119899(120594)) =

120588119899

where 1205881and 120588119899are maximal and minimal singular values of

matrix If for given120590 a number120594 is equal to a nonlinear eigen-value of119860

119899(120594) then the condition number is equal to infinity

Therefore the numbers 120594 for which the condition number isbig enough are good approximations for eigenvalues Singularvalues are calculated by singular value decomposition (SVD)method

119860119899(120594) = 119880119878119881 119878 = diag (120588

1 1205882 120588

119899) (22)

where 119880 119881 are unitary matrices and 119878 is a diagonal matrixthe singular numbers form 119878 The calculations are based onunitary transformations of the matrix 119860 and therefore arestable

In the next step for each 120590 in the investigated intervalwe use obtained initial approximations for numerical cal-culations of nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 by the residual inverseiteration method

On the base of solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem(15) for transverse wavenumbers we solve the forward andinverse spectral problems for weakly guiding step-indexwaveguides

22 Forward Spectral Problem Clearly if for given120590 the char-acteristic values 120594 of the operator-valued function119860(120594) werecalculated and also if the permittivities 120576

the longitudinal wavenumber 119896 and the propagation constant120573 are calculated by the following explicit formulas

3 Results and Discussion

Let us describe numerical results obtained for a nonlineareigenvalue problem (15) for transverse wavenumbers Wecompare our numerical results with the well-known exactsolution for the circular waveguide obtained by themethod ofseparation of variables (see eg [5]) In Figure 2 we presentsome dispersion curves for surface eigenwaves of the circularwaveguide Here the exact solution is plotted by solid lines

We started our numerical calculations with computationsof initial approximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 To dothat we have used SVD as was described in Section 21 Cal-culated initial approximations are marked in Figure 2 by bluecircles The blue circles are only the initial approximationsfor eigenvalues 120594 We apply these initial approximations asstart points in the residual inverse iteration method Usingthis iterationmethod for each given 120590 we solved numericallythe finite-dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem (20)depending on eigenvalues 120594 The numerical solution whichresulted in this method is marked in Figure 2 by red crosses

Note here that applying previously calculated initialapproximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 we numericallysolve this problem directly and without any prior physicalinformation Figure 2 illustrates that the initial approxima-tions are good enough and we can use them in the majorityof cases without iterative refinement of solutions

Our next numerical experiment shows reconstruction ofcorersquos permittivity using the algorithm in Section 231 Themathematical analysis of existence of the solution of theoriginal spectral problem (4)-(5) for transverse wavenumbersis presented in Theorems 1 and 2 An illustration of thetheoretical results is shown in Figure 2 Analyzing Figure 2we observe that the fundamental mode (see the red solidcurve in Figure 2) exists for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 Thefundamental mode is unique its dispersion curve does notintersect with any other curves and well separated fromthemTherefore the inverse spectral problemrsquos solution existsand is unique for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 this solutiondepends continuously on given data In other words theinverse spectral problem is well posed by Hadamard We cansee an example of this continuity dependence in Figure 5The red solid line is the plot of the function 120576

In our computations by analogy with [13 14] we haveintroduced random noise in the propagation constant as

120573 = 120573 (1 + 119901120572) (29)

sented in Figure 5 The approximated value of 120576+for the

noise-free data is marked in Figure 5 by the blue circleApproximated values of 120576

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms

Here ] is the normal derivative on 120574 119906minus (resp 119906+) is the limitvalue of a function 119906 from the interior (resp the exterior) of120574

differentiable functions in Ω119894and Ω

119890 satisfying to condition

(3) Let us calculate nontrivial solutions 119906 of problem (4)-(5)in the space 119880

Let 120590 gt 0 be a given number A nonzero function 119906 isin 119880is called an eigenfunction of problem (4)-(5) correspondingto a real eigenvalue 120594 if relationships (4)-(5) hold

The next theorem follows from results of [29]

Theorem 1 For any 120590 gt 0 the eigenvalues 120594 of problem(4)-(5) can be only positive isolated numbers Each number 120594depends continuously on 120590

For waveguides of circular cross-section the analogousresults about the localization of the surface modes spectrumand about the continuous dependence between the transversewavenumbers 120590 and 120594 were obtained in [5] The results of [5]are valid only for waveguides of circular cross-section by themethod of separation of variables Theorem 1 generalizes theresults of [5] for the case of an arbitrary smooth boundaryThe next theorem follows from results of [34] (see anillustration in Figure 2)

Theorem 2 The following statements hold(1) For any 120590 gt 0 there exist the denumerable set of positive

eigenvalues120594119894(120590) where 119894 = 1 2 of a finitemultiplicity with

only cumulative point at infinity(2) For any 120590 gt 0 the smallest eigenvalue 120594

1(120590) is positive

and simple (its multiplicity is equal to one) correspondingeigenfunction 119906

1can be chosen as the positive function in the

domain Ω119894

(3) 1205941(120590) rarr 0 at 120590 rarr 0

For a given 120590 gt 0 the smallest eigenvalue 1205941(120590) and

corresponding eigenfunction 1199061define the eigenmode which

is called the fundamental mode (see the bottom curve plottedby the red solid line in Figure 2) Thus Theorem 2 statesparticularly that for any 120590 gt 0 there exists exactly onefundamental mode

To compute eigenmodes we use the representation ofeigenfunctions of problem (4)-(5) in the form of single-layerpotentials [41]

layer potentials (6) with some Holder-continuous densities 119891and 119892 respectively At the same time the function

is the eigenfunction of the operator-valued function 119860(120594)

corresponding to the characteristic value 1205940

Let us formulate the nonlinear spectral problem for trans-verse wavenumbers as follows Suppose that the boundary 120574of the waveguidersquos cross-section and the number 120590 gt 0 aregiven It is necessary to calculate all characteristic values 120594 ofthe operator-valued function 119860(120594) in some given interval

A spline-collocation method was proposed in [31] fornumerical calculations of characteristic values 120594 of theoperator-valued function 119860(120594) for given 120590 and problem (15)for each fixed120590was reduced to a nonlinear finite-dimensionaleigenvalue problem of the form

119860119899(120594)119908119899= 0 (20)

where 119899 is the number of collocation points For numericalsolution of obtained nonlinear finite-dimensional eigenvalueproblem we use the residual inverse iteration method [42]

Any iterative numerical method for computations of thenonlinear eigenvalues 120594 needs good initial approximationsfor each given 120590 Usually initial approximations are chosenby a physical intuition using prior information on solutionsIf we model fundamentally new types of waveguides solve

Physics Research International 5

inverse problems or investigate defects in fibers thenwemaynot have accurate prior information on solutions

In this case we can investigate spectral properties of thematrix 119860

119899(120594) as a function of variable 120594 for each fixed 120590 For

each given point in an investigated domain of parameters 120594and 120590 we calculate the condition number of matrix 119860

119899

cond (119860119899(120594)) =

1205881

120588119899

(21)

where 1205881and 120588119899are maximal and minimal singular values of

matrix If for given120590 a number120594 is equal to a nonlinear eigen-value of119860

119899(120594) then the condition number is equal to infinity

Therefore the numbers 120594 for which the condition number isbig enough are good approximations for eigenvalues Singularvalues are calculated by singular value decomposition (SVD)method

119860119899(120594) = 119880119878119881 119878 = diag (120588

1 1205882 120588

119899) (22)

where 119880 119881 are unitary matrices and 119878 is a diagonal matrixthe singular numbers form 119878 The calculations are based onunitary transformations of the matrix 119860 and therefore arestable

In the next step for each 120590 in the investigated intervalwe use obtained initial approximations for numerical cal-culations of nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 by the residual inverseiteration method

On the base of solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem(15) for transverse wavenumbers we solve the forward andinverse spectral problems for weakly guiding step-indexwaveguides

22 Forward Spectral Problem Clearly if for given120590 the char-acteristic values 120594 of the operator-valued function119860(120594) werecalculated and also if the permittivities 120576

the longitudinal wavenumber 119896 and the propagation constant120573 are calculated by the following explicit formulas

that the propagation constant 120573 of the fundamental modeis measured for a given wavenumber 119896 The measuring canbe done by experimental methods described for examplein [3] It is necessary to calculate the permittivity 120576

waveguidersquos coreThe solution of this inverse spectral problem is calculated

in the following way First we compute the number

which is calculated for given values of 120573 119896 and 120576infin Then

the transverse wavenumber 120594(120590) is calculated by the spline-collocation method for the obtained 120590 of the fundamentalmode This number is calculated by an interpolation of thefunction 120594

1(120590) with respect to the points obtained when the

nonlinear spectral problem for transverse wavenumbers wasnumerically solved Finally the permittivity of the waveg-uidersquos core is calculated by the following explicit formula

3 Results and Discussion

Let us describe numerical results obtained for a nonlineareigenvalue problem (15) for transverse wavenumbers Wecompare our numerical results with the well-known exactsolution for the circular waveguide obtained by themethod ofseparation of variables (see eg [5]) In Figure 2 we presentsome dispersion curves for surface eigenwaves of the circularwaveguide Here the exact solution is plotted by solid lines

We started our numerical calculations with computationsof initial approximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 To dothat we have used SVD as was described in Section 21 Cal-culated initial approximations are marked in Figure 2 by bluecircles The blue circles are only the initial approximationsfor eigenvalues 120594 We apply these initial approximations asstart points in the residual inverse iteration method Usingthis iterationmethod for each given 120590 we solved numericallythe finite-dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem (20)depending on eigenvalues 120594 The numerical solution whichresulted in this method is marked in Figure 2 by red crosses

Note here that applying previously calculated initialapproximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 we numericallysolve this problem directly and without any prior physicalinformation Figure 2 illustrates that the initial approxima-tions are good enough and we can use them in the majorityof cases without iterative refinement of solutions

Our next numerical experiment shows reconstruction ofcorersquos permittivity using the algorithm in Section 231 Themathematical analysis of existence of the solution of theoriginal spectral problem (4)-(5) for transverse wavenumbersis presented in Theorems 1 and 2 An illustration of thetheoretical results is shown in Figure 2 Analyzing Figure 2we observe that the fundamental mode (see the red solidcurve in Figure 2) exists for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 Thefundamental mode is unique its dispersion curve does notintersect with any other curves and well separated fromthemTherefore the inverse spectral problemrsquos solution existsand is unique for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 this solutiondepends continuously on given data In other words theinverse spectral problem is well posed by Hadamard We cansee an example of this continuity dependence in Figure 5The red solid line is the plot of the function 120576

the fundamental mode The approximate solution obtained by thespline-collocation method is marked by the blue circle for the exact120573 and by black points for the randomly noised 120573

In our computations by analogy with [13 14] we haveintroduced random noise in the propagation constant as

120573 = 120573 (1 + 119901120572) (29)

where 120573 = 398518 is the exact measured propagationconstant 120572 isin (minus1 1) are randomly distributed numbersand 119901 is the noise level In our computations we have used119901 = 005 and thus the noise level was 5

Some numerical results of reconstruction of 120576+are pre-

sented in Figure 5 The approximated value of 120576+for the

noise-free data is marked in Figure 5 by the blue circleApproximated values of 120576

the propagation constant 120573 of the fundamental mode for onlyone wavenumber 119896

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms

is the eigenfunction of the operator-valued function 119860(120594)

corresponding to the characteristic value 1205940

Let us formulate the nonlinear spectral problem for trans-verse wavenumbers as follows Suppose that the boundary 120574of the waveguidersquos cross-section and the number 120590 gt 0 aregiven It is necessary to calculate all characteristic values 120594 ofthe operator-valued function 119860(120594) in some given interval

A spline-collocation method was proposed in [31] fornumerical calculations of characteristic values 120594 of theoperator-valued function 119860(120594) for given 120590 and problem (15)for each fixed120590was reduced to a nonlinear finite-dimensionaleigenvalue problem of the form

119860119899(120594)119908119899= 0 (20)

where 119899 is the number of collocation points For numericalsolution of obtained nonlinear finite-dimensional eigenvalueproblem we use the residual inverse iteration method [42]

Any iterative numerical method for computations of thenonlinear eigenvalues 120594 needs good initial approximationsfor each given 120590 Usually initial approximations are chosenby a physical intuition using prior information on solutionsIf we model fundamentally new types of waveguides solve

Physics Research International 5

inverse problems or investigate defects in fibers thenwemaynot have accurate prior information on solutions

In this case we can investigate spectral properties of thematrix 119860

119899(120594) as a function of variable 120594 for each fixed 120590 For

each given point in an investigated domain of parameters 120594and 120590 we calculate the condition number of matrix 119860

119899

cond (119860119899(120594)) =

1205881

120588119899

where 1205881and 120588119899are maximal and minimal singular values of

matrix If for given120590 a number120594 is equal to a nonlinear eigen-value of119860

119899(120594) then the condition number is equal to infinity

Therefore the numbers 120594 for which the condition number isbig enough are good approximations for eigenvalues Singularvalues are calculated by singular value decomposition (SVD)method

119860119899(120594) = 119880119878119881 119878 = diag (120588

1 1205882 120588

119899) (22)

where 119880 119881 are unitary matrices and 119878 is a diagonal matrixthe singular numbers form 119878 The calculations are based onunitary transformations of the matrix 119860 and therefore arestable

In the next step for each 120590 in the investigated intervalwe use obtained initial approximations for numerical cal-culations of nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 by the residual inverseiteration method

On the base of solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem(15) for transverse wavenumbers we solve the forward andinverse spectral problems for weakly guiding step-indexwaveguides

22 Forward Spectral Problem Clearly if for given120590 the char-acteristic values 120594 of the operator-valued function119860(120594) werecalculated and also if the permittivities 120576

the longitudinal wavenumber 119896 and the propagation constant120573 are calculated by the following explicit formulas

3 Results and Discussion

Let us describe numerical results obtained for a nonlineareigenvalue problem (15) for transverse wavenumbers Wecompare our numerical results with the well-known exactsolution for the circular waveguide obtained by themethod ofseparation of variables (see eg [5]) In Figure 2 we presentsome dispersion curves for surface eigenwaves of the circularwaveguide Here the exact solution is plotted by solid lines

We started our numerical calculations with computationsof initial approximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 To dothat we have used SVD as was described in Section 21 Cal-culated initial approximations are marked in Figure 2 by bluecircles The blue circles are only the initial approximationsfor eigenvalues 120594 We apply these initial approximations asstart points in the residual inverse iteration method Usingthis iterationmethod for each given 120590 we solved numericallythe finite-dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem (20)depending on eigenvalues 120594 The numerical solution whichresulted in this method is marked in Figure 2 by red crosses

Note here that applying previously calculated initialapproximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 we numericallysolve this problem directly and without any prior physicalinformation Figure 2 illustrates that the initial approxima-tions are good enough and we can use them in the majorityof cases without iterative refinement of solutions

Our next numerical experiment shows reconstruction ofcorersquos permittivity using the algorithm in Section 231 Themathematical analysis of existence of the solution of theoriginal spectral problem (4)-(5) for transverse wavenumbersis presented in Theorems 1 and 2 An illustration of thetheoretical results is shown in Figure 2 Analyzing Figure 2we observe that the fundamental mode (see the red solidcurve in Figure 2) exists for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 Thefundamental mode is unique its dispersion curve does notintersect with any other curves and well separated fromthemTherefore the inverse spectral problemrsquos solution existsand is unique for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 this solutiondepends continuously on given data In other words theinverse spectral problem is well posed by Hadamard We cansee an example of this continuity dependence in Figure 5The red solid line is the plot of the function 120576

In our computations by analogy with [13 14] we haveintroduced random noise in the propagation constant as

120573 = 120573 (1 + 119901120572) (29)

where 120573 = 398518 is the exact measured propagationconstant 120572 isin (minus1 1) are randomly distributed numbersand 119901 is the noise level In our computations we have used119901 = 005 and thus the noise level was 5

sented in Figure 5 The approximated value of 120576+for the

noise-free data is marked in Figure 5 by the blue circleApproximated values of 120576

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms

In this case we can investigate spectral properties of thematrix 119860

119899(120594) as a function of variable 120594 for each fixed 120590 For

each given point in an investigated domain of parameters 120594and 120590 we calculate the condition number of matrix 119860

where 1205881and 120588119899are maximal and minimal singular values of

matrix If for given120590 a number120594 is equal to a nonlinear eigen-value of119860

119899(120594) then the condition number is equal to infinity

Therefore the numbers 120594 for which the condition number isbig enough are good approximations for eigenvalues Singularvalues are calculated by singular value decomposition (SVD)method

119860119899(120594) = 119880119878119881 119878 = diag (120588

119899) (22)

where 119880 119881 are unitary matrices and 119878 is a diagonal matrixthe singular numbers form 119878 The calculations are based onunitary transformations of the matrix 119860 and therefore arestable

In the next step for each 120590 in the investigated intervalwe use obtained initial approximations for numerical cal-culations of nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 by the residual inverseiteration method

On the base of solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem(15) for transverse wavenumbers we solve the forward andinverse spectral problems for weakly guiding step-indexwaveguides

22 Forward Spectral Problem Clearly if for given120590 the char-acteristic values 120594 of the operator-valued function119860(120594) werecalculated and also if the permittivities 120576

+ 120576infinare known then

the longitudinal wavenumber 119896 and the propagation constant120573 are calculated by the following explicit formulas

1198962=1205902+ 1205942

120576+minus 120576infin

(23)

For each given 120576+ 120576infin and 119894 the function 120594

119894(120590) generates

a function 1205732 of variable 1198962 As an example in Figure 3 wepresent the plot of the computed function 120573

+= 2 120576

infin= 1 and 119894 = 1 We

will use two points marked by circle and by square in thenext sections as test points for numerical solution of inversespectral problems

23 Inverse Spectral Problems In this subsection we presentthree algorithms for approximate solution of three inversespectral problems The algorithms are based on previousnumerical solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem (15) fortransverse wavenumbers namely on numerical calculationsof characteristic values 120594

in the following way First we compute the number

which is calculated for given values of 120573 119896 and 120576infin Then

the transverse wavenumber 120594(120590) is calculated by the spline-collocation method for the obtained 120590 of the fundamentalmode This number is calculated by an interpolation of thefunction 120594

1(120590) with respect to the points obtained when the

nonlinear spectral problem for transverse wavenumbers wasnumerically solved Finally the permittivity of the waveg-uidersquos core is calculated by the following explicit formula

3 Results and Discussion

Let us describe numerical results obtained for a nonlineareigenvalue problem (15) for transverse wavenumbers Wecompare our numerical results with the well-known exactsolution for the circular waveguide obtained by themethod ofseparation of variables (see eg [5]) In Figure 2 we presentsome dispersion curves for surface eigenwaves of the circularwaveguide Here the exact solution is plotted by solid lines

We started our numerical calculations with computationsof initial approximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 To dothat we have used SVD as was described in Section 21 Cal-culated initial approximations are marked in Figure 2 by bluecircles The blue circles are only the initial approximationsfor eigenvalues 120594 We apply these initial approximations asstart points in the residual inverse iteration method Usingthis iterationmethod for each given 120590 we solved numericallythe finite-dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem (20)depending on eigenvalues 120594 The numerical solution whichresulted in this method is marked in Figure 2 by red crosses

Note here that applying previously calculated initialapproximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 we numericallysolve this problem directly and without any prior physicalinformation Figure 2 illustrates that the initial approxima-tions are good enough and we can use them in the majorityof cases without iterative refinement of solutions

Our next numerical experiment shows reconstruction ofcorersquos permittivity using the algorithm in Section 231 Themathematical analysis of existence of the solution of theoriginal spectral problem (4)-(5) for transverse wavenumbersis presented in Theorems 1 and 2 An illustration of thetheoretical results is shown in Figure 2 Analyzing Figure 2we observe that the fundamental mode (see the red solidcurve in Figure 2) exists for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 Thefundamental mode is unique its dispersion curve does notintersect with any other curves and well separated fromthemTherefore the inverse spectral problemrsquos solution existsand is unique for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 this solutiondepends continuously on given data In other words theinverse spectral problem is well posed by Hadamard We cansee an example of this continuity dependence in Figure 5The red solid line is the plot of the function 120576

In our computations by analogy with [13 14] we haveintroduced random noise in the propagation constant as

120573 = 120573 (1 + 119901120572) (29)

where 120573 = 398518 is the exact measured propagationconstant 120572 isin (minus1 1) are randomly distributed numbersand 119901 is the noise level In our computations we have used119901 = 005 and thus the noise level was 5

sented in Figure 5 The approximated value of 120576+for the

noise-free data is marked in Figure 5 by the blue circleApproximated values of 120576

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms

The solution of this problem is calculated in the followingway First we compute the number

3 Results and Discussion

Let us describe numerical results obtained for a nonlineareigenvalue problem (15) for transverse wavenumbers Wecompare our numerical results with the well-known exactsolution for the circular waveguide obtained by themethod ofseparation of variables (see eg [5]) In Figure 2 we presentsome dispersion curves for surface eigenwaves of the circularwaveguide Here the exact solution is plotted by solid lines

We started our numerical calculations with computationsof initial approximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 To dothat we have used SVD as was described in Section 21 Cal-culated initial approximations are marked in Figure 2 by bluecircles The blue circles are only the initial approximationsfor eigenvalues 120594 We apply these initial approximations asstart points in the residual inverse iteration method Usingthis iterationmethod for each given 120590 we solved numericallythe finite-dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem (20)depending on eigenvalues 120594 The numerical solution whichresulted in this method is marked in Figure 2 by red crosses

Note here that applying previously calculated initialapproximations for nonlinear eigenvalues 120594 we numericallysolve this problem directly and without any prior physicalinformation Figure 2 illustrates that the initial approxima-tions are good enough and we can use them in the majorityof cases without iterative refinement of solutions

Our next numerical experiment shows reconstruction ofcorersquos permittivity using the algorithm in Section 231 Themathematical analysis of existence of the solution of theoriginal spectral problem (4)-(5) for transverse wavenumbersis presented in Theorems 1 and 2 An illustration of thetheoretical results is shown in Figure 2 Analyzing Figure 2we observe that the fundamental mode (see the red solidcurve in Figure 2) exists for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 Thefundamental mode is unique its dispersion curve does notintersect with any other curves and well separated fromthemTherefore the inverse spectral problemrsquos solution existsand is unique for each wavenumber 119896 gt 0 this solutiondepends continuously on given data In other words theinverse spectral problem is well posed by Hadamard We cansee an example of this continuity dependence in Figure 5The red solid line is the plot of the function 120576

Figure 5 The red solid line is the plot of function 120576+= 120576+(1205732) for

the fundamental mode The approximate solution obtained by thespline-collocation method is marked by the blue circle for the exact120573 and by black points for the randomly noised 120573

In our computations by analogy with [13 14] we haveintroduced random noise in the propagation constant as

120573 = 120573 (1 + 119901120572) (29)

where 120573 = 398518 is the exact measured propagationconstant 120572 isin (minus1 1) are randomly distributed numbersand 119901 is the noise level In our computations we have used119901 = 005 and thus the noise level was 5

Some numerical results of reconstruction of 120576+are pre-

sented in Figure 5 The approximated value of 120576+for the

noise-free data is marked in Figure 5 by the blue circleApproximated values of 120576

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms

4 Conclusion

In this work we have formulated three inverse spectralproblems and proved that they are well posed It is importantto note that in our algorithms any information on specificvalues of eigenfunctions is not required For solution of theseinverse problems it is enough to know that the fundamentalmode is excited and then to measure its propagation con-stant for one or for two frequencies This approach satisfies

the practice of physical experiments because usually the fun-damental mode is excited in waveguides in real applications[3] Moreover the fundamental mode can be excited only forenough wide range of frequencies

For the approximate solution of the inverse problemswe propose to solve the nonlinear spectral problem fortransverse wavenumbers in order to compute the dispersioncurve for the fundamental mode These calculations aredone accurately by the spline-collocationmethod Finally wehave demonstrated unique and stable reconstruction of thepermittivities using new inverse algorithms
