Get StartedEnhanced Waveguide Design & Coupler Performance
Engineers can reliably predict waveguide and coupler performance using Ansys Lumerical MODE.
Large planar structures and extended propagation lengths are no problem for MODE, which combines bidirectional Eigenmode expansion, varFDTD, and finite difference eigenmode solvers.
In effect, delivering accurate spatial field, modal frequency, and overlap evaluations.
Ansys Lumerical MODE Core Capabilities
Advanced Bend Loss Analysis
- Advanced bend loss analysis is offered by Lumerical MODE employing spectrally and spatially resolved imaging.
Rapid Overlap Calculation/Analyses
- To determine the differences and similarities between two or more databases or collections as well as the degree of overlap between resources, overlap calculation and analysis are simple to perform.
Modal Area Analysis
- Multiple stages of analysis throughout the simulation process are necessary to get a reliable final design. With modal area analysis, Lumerical MODE accomplishes this feat.
Variational FDTD Solver
- Enjoy the 3D FDTD accuracy while using 2D simulation times. The 2.5D varFDTD solver in Lumerical MODE can accurately and quickly model massive planar waveguides.
Bidirectional Eigenmode Expansion
- To mimic electromagnetic propagation for long propagation lengths in waveguide or fiber devices, use Lumerical MODE coupler design feature. Device length and periodicity are automatically surveyed by the software.
