Abstract
Aperture field integration method (AFIM) is proposed and utilized to efficiently
compute the field distributions of infrared (IR)/millimeter wave (MMW) beam splitter including
the MMW near field distribution and IR far field distribution. A single dielectric layer beam
splitter is analyzed by AFIM. Compared to the multilevel fast multipole method (MLFMM),
the memory requirement and CPU time consumption are reduced drastically from 4.6 GB and
2141 seconds to 1.2 MB and 58 seconds, respectively, when the MMW near field distribution is
computed. In order to meet the far field condition a scale factor is proposed to transform the focal
plane into a far field plane, when the IR far field in a focal plane is computed. The IR far field
calculation accuracy is better than 97% compared to the analytical solutions. The simulation
results show that the AFIM as a unified method can be applied to both beam splitters’ MMW
near field and IR far field engineering estimation.
