Applications of Finite Element Method: Modelling of optical waveguides and fibers
In this module, we will use an example that builds on a previous module: how to model optical fibres and obtain their modal properties in commercial FE software with variation in wavelength/frequency of operation. The inclusion of dispersion and calculation of derived quantities (from the field) such as mode field area, effective area etc. will be discussed in this module.
What you will learn:
- Build a model for optical fibers with variation in wavelength/frequency of operation
- Describe the concept of parametric sweep
- Compute the parametric sweep
