This video introduces simulation techniques for photonic waveguide using Lumerical mode. It highlights various Lumerical mode packages, including the FDE (Finite Difference Eigen Mode Solver), EME (Eigen Mode Expansion Solver), and the 2.5D Variational FDTD Solver. The primary focus is on using the FDE solver to perform mode calculations. The video also explains how to calculate important parameters like group indices, dispersion coupling overlaps, and mode overlaps.
