This model includes a dielectric slab waveguide with a small lossy metallic object nearby. The object causes light to be scattered, absorbed, and both reflected and transmitted along the waveguide. Learn more in this accompanying blog post: Modeling a Scatterer Near an Optical Waveguide Read More
It is possible to engineer the structure of materials such that both the permittivity and permeability are negative. Such materials are realized by engineering a periodic structure with features comparable in scale to the wavelength. It is possible to model both the individual unit cells ... Read More
A plane wave is incident on a reflecting hexagonal grating. The grating cell consists of a protruding semisphere. The scattering coefficients for the different diffraction orders are calculated for a few different wavelengths. Read More
This example demonstrates how to optimize the thickness of a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) mirror coating material for maximum reflectivity. To reduce the simulation time, a Layered Impedance Boundary Condition is used to model the thin coating material on top of the metallic ... Read More
This example demonstrates the usage of the Scattered Field formulation to compute the scattering of light off of a single scatterer on top of a dielectric half-space. It uses the analytic Fresnel equations to design the background field. For a detailed introduction to this model, see ... Read More
Multiscale modeling is a challenging issue in modern simulation. This occurs when there are vastly different scales in the same model. For example, your cell phone is approximately 10 cm, yet it receives GPS information from satellites 20,000 km away. In these models we examine several ... Read More
In this model, we introduce a cloaking method using an electrically tuned monolayer of graphene. We will show that when a cylindrical dielectric scatterer is covered in graphene, the scattering cross section is greatly reduced at the designated frequency, making it electromagnetically ... Read More
This model builds on the photonic crystal model, where a photonic crystal structure is studied. This structure has a band gap, so only waves within a specific frequency range will propagate through the outlined guide geometry. This model changes the position of the pillars in order to ... Read More
This model demonstrates how to simulate the propagation of guided waves in a dielectric S-bent optical waveguide. The model demonstrates that the phase approximation, required by the Electromagnetic Waves, Beam Envelopes interface, can be numerically calculated by solving an additional ... Read More
