The birefringence is constant on the horizontal line, thus the influence of the edges<br />

is indeed reduced to a minimum.<br />

Modeling Using the Graphical User Interface—Optical Mode<br />

Analysis<br />

Select the Perpendicular Hybrid-Mode Waves (rfwv) application mode from the<br />

Multiphysics menu.<br />

GEOMETRY MODELING<br />

The computational domain can be reduced significantly for the optical mode analysis,<br />

because the energy of the fundamental modes is concentrated in the core region, and<br />

the energy density decays rapidly in the cladding and buffer regions.<br />

Click the Draw Mode button on the Main toolbar, and then draw a rectangle with<br />

corners at (−1e-5, −1e-5) and (1e-5, 1e-5).<br />

The rectangular region containing the active domains can be enlarged later on for<br />

validating the results. The rectangular region should be chosen large enough so that<br />
