3 The default eigenmode is the one with the highest effective mode index<br />

corresponding to one of the fundamental modes.<br />

Convergence Analysis<br />

To check the accuracy of the eigenvalues you need to examine the sensitivity of these<br />

values to changes in the mesh density.<br />

1 In the Free Mesh Parameters dialog box, lower the value of the maximum element<br />

size for the core subdomain, Subdomain 6, to 5e-7, remesh, and solve again.<br />

2 Repeat this for the maximum element sizes 2.5e-7 and 1.25e-7.<br />

The solver finds the following effective mode:<br />

ELEMENT SIZE,<br />

CORE<br />

SUBDOMAIN<br />

1E-6 5E-7 2.5E-7 1.25E-7<br />
