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
Prerequisites
Programming skills in Matlab or Python.
