A nonorthogonal coordinate system that extends the present range of angled configurations for which the beam propagation method (BPM) is accurate is introduced. This offers an extra degree of freedom within configuration and method when the BPM is applied in the design of general photonic integrated circuits incorporating angled waveguide sections. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
