Hi,
I have conducted an analysis of my waveguide design using the Mode Solver to achieve a single mode operation, and the results are attached. According to the results, the effective index of Mode 1 is calculated as 1.605514, with TE/TM polarization fractions of 82.1% and 83.17%, respectively. Mode 2, on the other hand, has reached cutoff and does not propagate. I am uncertain about the correct naming for Mode 1—would it be appropriate to label this mode as TM00? Could you please clarify the correct mode designation? Additionally, I would appreciate any explanation regarding the TE polarization fraction and the waveguide TE/TM fraction.

Somehow my reply was not successul so I reply it again:
TE/TM naming is not unique. and due to different conventions and approximations, the definition can be controvvesal. Silicon photonics or other high-index-contrast waveguides have tight mode confiement. so strict deinition can be challenge. You can define the mode by your self.
