To calculate coupling efficiency, my plan is to save the monitor d-card data from the FDTD simulation and then load it into MODE for overlapping with the fiber mode. I&#8217;ve chosen this approach because MODE allows for position optimization during the overlap, eliminating the need for an additional parameter of fiber position when using FDTD sweep with a mode expansion monitor or with ports and S-parameter. However, I found that the saved d-card data are in a non-normalized form, whereas the fiber mode is in normalized form, resulting in values differing by tens of magnitudes. Is there a way to save normalized data from the FDTD d-card, or alternatively, can I edit the results in the MODE d-card?<\/p>\n<p>Thank you in advance for the help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-316736","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello,I am currently simulating a fiber-to-chip coupler with free space in the middle.
