Goal(s)

Develop a small mode solver in Matlab or Python for a dielectric waveguide.
Apply numerical techniques seen in the course of numerical methods
and compare the results of test cases obtained with those of the course
and in a research article (Stern see bibliography)
Design a dielectric waveguide made of several materials.

Content(s)

Development of a one-dimensional electromagnetic mode solver :

  • solving the analytical equation of the TE planar guide
  • development of a 1d mode solver in TE polarization
  • comparison between the numerical approach and the analytical approach
  • same thing in TM polarization
