Implementation Details
The mode profile analyzer measures and displays the mode profile of a piece of waveguide or fiber. Please see the example file Mode_Profile_Analyzer.icp for detailed information on this element. The following figure shows the system in the example file. Please download and load this mode profile data file mode_profile.ldf to the MODE Waveguide element in the example file.
The mode profile analyzer could display the E and H model profiles on each coordinate, The following figures show the measured mode profile for the waveguide on E and H model on X, Y Z directions and as a whole.
