      Hello,

      is it possible to make a waveguide with gradient refractive index using OptiFDTD?

      You cannot create a profile or material which is a gradient in OptiFDTD. However, using the scripting functionality you can create many small object with difference indices of refraction which would allow you to create this gradient.

      Regards

      Hi Damian,

      I have a question regarding the use of a script to create a gradient. If I create many small objects with different indices of refraction, does it mean that I have to manually create a profile for each one of them? Is it possible to use somehow a variable for the index of refraction that could be integrated into the script when defining the different layers of the gradient?

      Thanks a lot in advance!
