A review on the characterisations of photonics devices by using the frequency domain modal solution, junction analysis and beam propagation methods and additionally time-domain approach, but all based on the numerically efficient finite element method is presented. Numerically simulated results for various photonic devices such as uniform optical waveguides, photonic crystal fibres, high-speed optical modulators, spot-size converters, compact power splitters, metalclad terahertz waveguides, photonic crystals and nonlinear acousto-optical interactions in optical waveguide are presented.
