Viewing Results in the BPM Analyzer

Compatibility:

To view the simulation results in OptiBPM_Analyzer, perform the following procedure.

Step Action
1 In the OptiBPM_Analyzer project directory, click Power In Output

Waveguides.

A graph appears and displays the power in each output waveguide as a function of iteration number. It is clear the optimum design can be found somewhere between the 3rd and 4th iteration (see Figure 29).

Note: The Analyzer stores simulation data from each iteration.

2 Open the Optical Field Propagation and Propagation Refractive Index directories, and select the contents to view (see Figure 30).
