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.

Hi Marton,

No worries. Thanks for the clarification. I don’t think you will be able to do that with FDE. FDE just calculates the eigenmodes of a waveguide at a given cross-section. Then you can calculate the far-field projection of each of these modes. For the interference, I believe you would have to propagate the modes a certain distance to see the fringes. This can be done in other solvers like FDTD. But let me double check with my colleagues and get back to you.

Regards,
