Reply To: Lumerical help, dielectric slab waveguide

Hi Marton,

I understand your concern, while making these structures, we have to make sure that if one if the layers is shifted all the other layers will be automatically adjusted. This is not done automatically in Lumerical. Typically, we set up the structures using script to have that adjustment for every iteration of the sweep. I have some sample scripts that I can share but before that I would like to ask a couple of questions to see if there is a simpler approach. Since you are new to Lumerical, you might not want to start with scripting right away.

Here are a couple of questions: 1. For your inital simulation, are you just sweeping the thickness of the core, no other parameters? 2. Are the cladding above and below the core same materials?

If the answer to the two questions is yes, then we can take advantage of the "mesh order" of the core and the cladding, to avoid having to use scripting.
