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…

Webinar: Multicore Fiber Design & Analysis
January 5, 2021
Optiwave Systems Inc. offers software tools to simulate & analyze single-mode and multimode multicore fibers with/without trenches and air-hole assisted structures. The supported modes in the structure are accurately obtained by modal analysis in OptiMode software. Then the coupling coefficients between the modes in the same core or different cores are calculated and the crosstalk…
