We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

You can either based on existing example or from scratch. YOu can use a cylinder as the core and a ring as the clading, or even two cylinders (circle). Since Lumerical uses mesh override the geometry https://optics.ansys.com/hc/en-us/articles/360034915233-Understanding-mesh-order-for-overlapping-objects you may first create the cladding, and change the core radius.

Other than TE mode, do you have other requirements?  I believe crearing a fiber to have TE mode is easy. But with other requirements you may need to spend time to optimize, or parameter sweep.
