Hi,

I am a beginner of comsol v 4. I tried to design a pcf with hexagonal pattern of airholes (five rings).
pitch=2um and d=1 um.
I got real part of effective mode index but don't get any imaginary part. Why?
The dispersion curve was not so good. Please help me.

i dont know why i cant attach my file, maybe because it is too large, is around 15Mb.

You have to use PML layer to calculate the imaginary part. Or might be your mesh is not good enough. You just send me the geometry without meshing it. Its difficult diagnose a problem this way.

will send it to you once i back to my lab tml.
my structure is without any PML, i use PEC outside my structure.

by the way, why i must use PML to calculate the imag part?
since my material properties (exap : refractive index is real value) and all other parameters are also real value,
so, from a System of pure real value, how i can get imaginary solution?

what you mean by mesh is not good enough? mesh size too small or too huge?

thx

Hello,
I think you can attach the Comsol Model. If you clear the solution and meshes(go to edit menu, clear solution and mesh), then the size of model will be reduced and save it.

Hi Tee,

Sorry for late replying. I was fairly busy over last week. yes I have given a look to your proble. you should have used PML. Go to Electromagnetic waves right click you will find PML. you asked why is it necessary. it is necessary to compute confinement loss from fibre the light that is being absorbed by PML. You can read about PML. there is plenty of papers search on internet. Hope this is clear.

there are some PML types, i think i will choose cylindrical.
by the way, if i want to insert my own equation for the PML, is it possible?
because i read some simulation journal, they mentioned about the equation they used for PML.

thx

Hi Tee,

u have to use cylindrical in this case. u can also use cartesian one if u use square str fr ur pml. Regarding equation do not worry at this moment. It is already implemented in comsol. U have to check subnode of pml, in which u have to chose option refractive index in this case rather than permittivity. this is a small issue but not corrected can give you error.

Thanks for the information..
Hv you try to calculate the dispersion for PCF?
i wonder why my dispersion curve is shifted upward when i compared it with the result reported in journal.

Hi Deepak,

I tried to use PML in my PCF model by using COMSOL 4.1, but there is an error and I don't know how to solve this error. Would you like help me to find the solution of this problem? I attach my PCF file here.

Thank's a lot
Haris

Hi Haris Saja,

I guess you will need to do the following:
1) Go to;
Model builder-------->> Materials; Here you need to select material type for your PML (domains 1,2,3,4,7,8,9) to be either Air or Silica. For the choice you can refer several discussions here on the forum.

2) Go to;
Model builder-------->> Electromagnetic waves------->> perfect matched layers------>> Wave equation, electric1;
Look at settings window (right hand side) under "electric displacement field" model and choose "refractive index" from the drop down list.

I hope this will solve your problem.

all the best

Polepalli,

You can just use the built-in PML. (or you can define your own PML equation, you can find it from internet)

Just draw another domain (cylindrical or rectangular) surrounding the outer boundary of your PCF. You have to define the material for that domain too, and select that domain as your PML.

Normally it is the same material as your PCF. Because you are truncating your PCF with the PML..

Can you post your code for plotting dispersion curve ? I need that badly
