Dielectric Slab Waveguide

Application ID: 14709


A planar dielectric slab waveguide demonstrates the principles behind any kind of dielectric waveguide such as a ridge waveguide or a step-index fiber. This model solves for the effective index and fields of a dielectric slab waveguide and compares the solution to analytic results.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
