Conformal Mapping Regions
Conformal Mapping Regions Introduction
Conformal mapping region in BPM is used to simulate curved optical waveguides. The method uses conformal mapping in the complex plane to transform a curved waveguide in ( x, y ) coordinates into a straight waveguide with a modified refractive index in new ( u, v ) coordinates (Figure 1). It can be used to treat…

Photonic Crystal Fiber Temperature Sensor using OptiMode
March 24, 2020
Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) have been extensively investigated for chemical, bio-medical, and environmental sensing applications. PCF provides a unique platform for realizing the desired modal dispersion, birefringence, confinement, and multiplicity characteristics. This can be attributed to the freedom in designing the microstructure geometry. Of significant importance for sensing applications, various chemical, biological, and inorganic materials…
