A numerical technique is described that can efficiently compute solutions of interface problems. These are problems with data, such as the coefficients of differential equations, discontinuous or even singular across one or more interfaces. A prime example of these problems are optical waveguides, and as such the scheme is applied to Maxwell's equations as they are formulated to describe light confinement in Bragg fibers. It is based on standard finite differences appropriately modified to take into account all possible discontinuities across the waveguide's interfaces due to the change of the refractive index. Second- and fourth-order schemes are described with additional adaptations to handle matrix eigenvalue problems, demanding geometries and defects.
