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 to deliver accurate spatial field, modal frequency, and mode overlap evaluations.
Engineering Solutions
Advanced Bend Loss Analysis
- Advanced bend loss analysis is offered by Lumerical MODE via mode tracking. Users can evaluate mode overlap mismatches accurately and optimize designs.
Rapid Overlap Calculation/Analyses
- Overlap calculation and analysis are simple to perform. Determine the differences and similarities between two or more datasets, as well as the degree of overlap between resources.
Modal Area Analysis
- Perform analysis on Power Coupling and spatial Beam Shifts. Lumerical MODE provides reliable modal analysis of gaussian beam types and enables users with a multitude of parameters to customize.
Variational FDTD Solver
- Perform 2.5D FDTD analysis of devices! Specialized for devices where vertical coupling is negligible, users can leverage the feature for 3D FDTD-levels of accuracy while only using a fraction of the simulation time. The VarFDTD tool is perfect for accurately and quickly modeling massive planar waveguides.
Bidirectional Eigenmode Expansion
- To mimic electromagnetic propagation for long propagation lengths in waveguide or fiber devices, use Lumerical MODE’s coupler design feature. Device length and periodicity are automatically surveyed by the software. This tool is perfect for long propagating designs such as Bragg Gratings or linearly spatial varying devices such as tapers.
