Strip waveguide analysis

This study is conducted in collaboration with Leandro A. C. Fonseca and Hugo E. H. Figueroa, Applied and Computational Electromagnetics Group, Campinas, Brazil.

The exploitation of Bragg gratings is an important component of the design of photonic-integrated circuits. In this study, we considered a family of silicon-on-silica strip waveguides.

To perform the computations, we developed the possibility to input 2D frequency-domain field distributions on a plane, that are then transformed into frequency-domain sources for excitation of the structure. The observable of interest, i.e. the mode overlap, was also implemented for the occasion.
