    Comsol Meshing
AI Thread Summary
When simulating a distributed Bragg grating filter in COMSOL, achieving a symmetric spectrum at the Bragg wavelength may require finer meshing than the initial wavelength/index/8 approach. Users suggest that layers of λ/4 width necessitate smaller mesh sizes for accurate results. A recommended technique involves creating a faux structure around critical sections with significant dimensional differences, allowing for smaller mesh sizes in those areas while maintaining larger meshes in the rest. This method can enhance both accuracy and simulation efficiency. Proper meshing is crucial for optimal performance in COMSOL simulations of Bragg grating filters.

Hello everyone!
I am simulating a distributed Bragg grating filter using comsol. The mesh i used is like wavelength/index/8, but i do not get symmetric spectrum to Bragg wavelength.Layers are λ/4 width. Is there a special meshing for these Bragg layers? Or is there someone who can give me suggestion?
Thank you.

You probably need to mesh smaller.

One trick: if you have a particular section of a system that has a large difference in critical physical dimensions within a larger piece of material, you can define a faux structure around that critical section (of the same material) and tell Comsol to mesh that volume smaller but then use a larger mesh for the larger dimensioned pieces. This can have a radical improvement on both accuracy and simulation time.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
