We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hi Deng,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I believe that your results can be explained if you do a mode overlap analysis. Please have a look on this article: Understanding the mode overlap calculation. It seems that in your case modes 4 and 5 have a stronger overlap with mode 1 while they are guided into your tapered waveguide comparing to modes 2 and 3.

Kind Regards,

Niki
