Advanced Finite Element Techniques for Computing Transverse Modes of Optical Fibers: Optical Fiber Mode Solver Computational Model Project
Abstract
This report describes the progress and achievements associated with the development of an advanced computer model for accurately finding optical fiber mode data; improving upon past techniques already found in the scientific literature. A major accomplishment of this effort is the fact that a provably convergent mathematical approach for finding mode loss values has been discovered and implemented in our new optical mode solver computational tool. More generally, we have advanced the FEAST eigensolver methodology applicable to any discretization. The products of this project, namely the simulation code and improved understanding of how to find optical fiber mode data, has been transferred to the AFRL/RDL team in support of their applications.
