Summary
Various types of decomposed finite difference methods possess extraordinary features such as structure simplicity, computational efficiency and remarkable flexibility in applications. Naturally, decomposition methods with adaptations lead to fascinating approaches to computation, and ensure effective strategies in simulation realizations. This paper proposes an exponential transformation which removes successfully the transverse-wise high oscillation component from the complex solution of Helmholtz equation for alternating direction implicit operations. Arclength adaptation is introduced in the wave propaganda direction. The idea is to take advantage of the known ray approximation for the optical wave function. Coupled nonoscillatory ray equations are obtained for continuing splitting approximations. Hence, the ray transformation and decomposition successfully remove the oscillatory factor for successive simulations. The straightforward procedure is remarkable for fast calculations without utilizing tiny mesh step sizes.
