Abstract
We propose an optical circuit design method for coherent waves as a boundary value problem. The method produces a very compact circuit in which the refractive index pattern is automatically synthesized for given input and output fields with a numerical calculation. We employ the method to design a wavelength demultiplexer and also describe the features of a circuit generated by use of the method.
