Building and Simulating Waveguides in FDTD

This video delves deeper into the practical application of Lumerical FDTD. It demonstrates how to design a silicon waveguide structure and how to set up the simulation environment, including defining the solver, adding sources, and placing monitors. The video further elucidates the boundary conditions and mesh settings pertinent to the simulation. By the end of this tutorial, viewers will be familiar with visualizing mode profiles, effective indices against wavelengths, and the light propagation through the waveguide in both static images and motion.
