Photonic Crystal Fibres and COMSOL

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using COMSOL 3.5 for designing Photonic Crystal Fibres (PCF) and tapered optical fibres. The user seeks clarification on the layout background, specifically whether to define the surrounding area as air or another object. They are also looking for instructions on creating a PCF structure in COMSOL and recommendations for relevant books or notes on photonic applications. A suggestion was made to check a specific paper on confinement loss computations, but the user found it more theoretical and requested practical COMSOL files instead. Engaging with the COMSOL Community was recommended for quicker assistance.

Hello everyone, I am trying to understand COMSOL 3.5 and I am interested in Photonic crystal fibres and tapered optical fibres. First of all, could you please tell me what is the background of the layout? When you create a design/object, the rest area is air or I need to define another object as the environment?
Now, could you please tell me where I can find instructions of how creating a PCF structure in COMSOL? Furthermore, do you know any good notes/books for COMSOL for photonic applications??
Thank you in advance

Chris

Have you seen this paper yet on Confinement Loss Computations in Photonic Crystal Fibres using a Novel Perfectly Matched Layer Design? http://www.comsol.com/papers/1083/
It may help.

Yes my friend, I have already found this paper but its not really helpful because its more theoretical analysis. I need the COMSOL file, in order to start working in that. Do you have any other ideas?

Best Regards,
Chris

Thread 'Simple math model for a Particle Image Velocimetry system'

Hello togehter, I am new to this forum and hope this post followed all the guidelines here (I tried to summarized my issue as clean as possible, two pictures are attached). I would appreciate every help: I am doing research on a Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) system. For this I want to set a simple math model for the system. I hope you can help me out. Regarding this I have 2 main Questions. 1. I am trying to find a math model which is describing what is happening in a simple Particle...

Thread 'How to model converging illumination through object plane (in ZEMAX)'

Hello community, I'm designing a projection lens system for a 35mm film projector in Zemax OpticStudio and struggling with the correct sequential mode setup for the illumination geometry. The light source is a Xenon short-arc lamp reflected by an ellipsoid mirror, which creates a converging cone with a 40.6 degree full angle that passes through the film gate. The film gate is my object plane, but the light doesn't diverge from it like a typical Lambertian source. Instead, the converging...
