Hi Marton,

I confirmed it with my colleagues. We can not look at interference from FDE as I mentioned, FDE just calculates the modes at a given cross-section. But for looking at the interference you would have to proprgate the modes. You can do this either by using the FDTD solver or the EME solver (which is part of the MODE IDE). Simulating in FDTD will be more straightforward but EME will be fatser. Have you worked with any of these solvers before?
