I getting a good feel of the program, however am wondering if the negative power in the observation window is an issue of direction. As I am using the observation line, to give me the power at that surface. Please see the attached copy of file working on. I just noticed that the power was negative, and as such, wondering if is an issue of direction. Thank You.

Yes it is smaller,however figures are off by some decimals, as seen in the files uploaded and yes thanks for the correction with the units.

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.

I tried what you suggested, however I am concerned as to why the Poynting vectors for both TE and TM are so different, when the excitation comes from the same direction; as in for both TE and TM modes of study the excitation is done in the vertical plane.

Yes correct,that is the version of the software I am using. The 32 bit, I been trying to acquire the 64 bit,but not with much luck. I was told I would be contacted back, however no correspondence since.

I am investigating the Total energy from start to end. And how energy vary depending on mode the light is launched in. In the analyzer file, I look at the poynting vector. Is it that am to use a detector to measure the poynting vector,instead of the method am using now?

These are the files playing with to try understand why TE and TM give different Poynting vectors of order 10^5
