Okay seem to be getting values close but not exact, for both modes when used the W/m instead the A/m setting for input wave. And When used the 1.0 A/m setting for impulse and the 346 W/m for TE mode got similar magnitudes. Thanks again, can hardly believe overlooked that fact,about the differences in the A/m vs the W/m, as neglected to pay attention to the units, oversight on my part. I used this site “http://www.computational-photonics.eu/oms.html to check the modes and it gave me the exact same figures and number of modes. This seemed to clear up a lot for me now, regarding the difference in the magnitude of Poynting vectors. Attached are the files used.
PS the 1000 W/m for the TE mode gave me a factor of 10 difference in the Poynting vector, so I began using trial and error to find the number which would give me almost equal to 1 A/m and so came up with the 346 W/m. Thanks again for your help.
