Perfectly matched anisotropic absorbers are introduced in two‐ and three‐dimensional beam propagation methods. The anisotropic perfectly matched layer does not require the modification of Maxwell's equations, and can be easily implemented in codes which deal with anisotropic materials. Finite‐element semivectorial and full‐vectorial formulations have been considered to prove the efficiency of the proposed approach. ©1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
