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 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
