Does anyone know how to caculate the effective mode area of the fundemental mode in an optical fiber using COMSOL 3.5?

Reviving this thread!

Does anyone know the answer?

If I plot the cut line through the center is there a a simple way of extracting the 1/e width and exporting into a table from that graph?

Acording to www.rp-photonics.com/effective_mode_area.html

A_eff= int I dxdy / int I^2 dxdy

Which means that using two Derived values" i.e. the integrals of emw.Poavz and emw.Poavz^2 and deciding one by the other the answer is achieved.

However the two values end up in two different tables and I can not plot one table divided by the other. So Ig guess I have to store the sol in tables on file import to matlab perform the division and then export to a similar table on file that then can be plotted...

Hello Micke,
You could use Component Couplings of the Integration type to compute the integrals. This way each integral has a name and you can divide one by the other within COMSOL. Use "Update Solution" to evalaute the component couplings without having to recompute the solution.
Best,
Jeff
