Hi Amrita,

 

this is the code with the waveguide added at the end:

 

selectall; deleteall; clear;

 

selectall; deleteall; clear;

 

if(materialexists("TFLN"))

 

{

 

deletematerial("TFLN");

 

}

 

 

####################Defining TFLN###########################

 

#Indices of refraction for substrate & waveguide layers

delta_n = 0;

n_TFLN = [2.21; 2.14; 2.21];

temp = addmaterial("Dielectric");

setmaterial(temp,"name","TFLN");

setmaterial("TFLN", "Anisotropy", 1); # enable diagonal anisotropy

setmaterial("TFLN","Refractive Index", n_TFLN);
