The performance of three bidirectional modal methods the "classical" bidirectional eigenmode expansion propagation method, the aperiodic rigorous coupled wave analysis (known also as the Fourier modal method), and the mode expansion method based on harmonic expansion are mutually compared using modeling tasks that include eigenmode calculation of a relatively high-contrast planar waveguide, spectral transmittance of a one-dimensional "photonic crystal" filter in a photonic wire, spectral transmittance of a surface plasmon based optical sensor, and a reflectance from a double-groove structure in a high-contrast waveguide.
