Download or read book Optical Waveguides and Devices Modeling and Visualization Using COMSOL Multiphysics Volume 1 written by Hee Lim and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-19 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pictorial manuscript is a step-by-step graphical illustrations for waveguides and devices modeling and computational physics simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics with Ray Optics, Wave Optics and AC/DC Electrostatics modules. All the example models investigated and visualized with the help of Finite Element Analysis are referenced from the standard USA undergraduate text on Optical Guided Waves and Devices by Richard Syms and John Cozens. The simulations include the use of geometrical ray tracings for point source and full electromagnetic waves source employing the Maxwell's wave equations for plane wave input. Both 2D and 3D simulation results will help in visualize the electromagnetic field propagating inside the waveguides and devices. Readers without fundamental handle on optics modeling are suggested to read the Optics Modeling and Visualization with COMSOL Multiphysics: A step by step graphical instruction manuscripts for detailed discussion. These models may be expanded to post-graduate research and industrial photonics waveguides and devices development. There are 46 chapters of different 2D and 3D optical waveguides & devices structures modeled and simulated in Volume 1 and 2. Volume 1 models include 3D single mode optical fiber, planar waveguide, channel waveguide, longitudinal and transverse phase modulator, surface plasmon, optical square waveguide, tapered waveguide, FTIR beamsplitter in ray tracing and electromagnetic wave solvers, full prism coupler, halved prism coupler, plano convex overlay lens, overlay Luneburg lens, geodesic lens with control setup for resulted electric field comparison, corrugated gratings, transmission and reflection gratings, chirped grating lens, beam expander grating, grating coupler, chirped grating coupler, buried channel waveguide.
