| wavelength_data |
Matrix
|
B x 1 matrix with the wavelengths (m) for which the properties below are evaluated, where B is the number of wavelengths. For best results, use three points per band. Example: [1260e-9, 1310e-9, 1360e-9, 1530e-9, 1550e-9, 1625e-9] for O-band (1260-1360nm) and C-band (1530-1565nm). |
| width_data |
W x 1 matrix with the waveguide widths (m) for which the properties below are evaluated, where W is the number of width values. |
|
| curvature_data |
C x 1 matrix with the waveguide curvatures (1/m) for which the properties below are evaluated, where C is the number of curvature values. |
|
| temperature_data |
T x 1 matrix with the temperatures (K) for which the properties below are evaluated, where T is the number of temperature values. Note: For models with no temperature dependence, provide a single temperature value. |
|
| mode_data |
M x 1 cell array where M is the number of modes. Each element of the cell is a struct with fields:
Notes:

|
| neff |
B x W x C x T x M matrix with effective index as a function of wavelength band, waveguide width, waveguide curvature, temperature, and mode number, respectively. Example: neff(1, 3, 5, 2) stores the effective index for the first frequency band, the third waveguide width value, the fifth provided temperature value, and the second mode. |
|
| ng |
B x W x C x T x M matrix with group index as a function of wavelength band, waveguide width, waveguide curvature, temperature, and mode number, respectively. Note: For more information on mode properties, see Mode Properties in photonic model page. |
|
| D |
B x W x C x T x M matrix with dispersion (s/m/m) as a function of wavelength band, waveguide width, waveguide curvature, temperature, and mode number, respectively. Note: For more information on mode properties, see Mode Properties in photonic model page. |
|
| loss |
B x W x C x T x M matrix with loss (dB/m) as a function of wavelength band, waveguide width, waveguide curvature, temperature, and mode number, respectively. Note: This is only for length-dependent loss, do not include mode mismatch losses at the ports of the waveguide. |
