MESH GENERATION<br />

1 Initialize the mesh.<br />

2 Refine the mesh once.<br />

COMPUTING THE SOLUTION<br />

The modes of interest have an effective mode index somewhere between the refractive<br />

indices of the two materials, that is,<br />

1 In the Solver Parameters dialog box set the parameter Search for effective mode<br />

indices around to 1.446. This guarantees that the solver will find the fundamental<br />

mode, which has the largest effective mode index.<br />

2 Solve the problem.<br />

POSTPROCESSING AND VISUALIZATION<br />

The default plot shows the power flow in the z direction for the fundamental mode.<br />

This is the HE11 mode, which is verified by visualizing the transversal components of<br />

both the magnetic and the electric field.<br />

1 In the Plot Parameters dialog box, select surface and contour plots.<br />

2 Set Solution at angle (phase) to 45.<br />

3 On the Surface page, set the Surface data to Electric field, z component.<br />
