Tutorials

To help get you up and running with EMopt, work through the following two detailed example optimizations. After completing these two tutorials, you should have a pretty good idea of how to setup EMopt for your own optimizations.

2D Examples

• 1. Simulating a Waveguide in 2D
• 2. Solving for modes of 2D Waveguides
• 3. Simulating a Waveguide in 2D Which is Excited With a Mode Source
• 4. Optimizing a Grating Coupler

3D Examples

• 1. Simulating a Waveguide in 3D
• 2. Solving for Modes of 3D waveguides
• 3. Optimizing a Simple MMI 1x2 Splitter

Additional Examples

EMopt comes with a variety of examples which demonstrate what can be achieved and how to use the different aspects of the underlying modules. To see these, examples, navigate to the examples/ subfolder in the emopt project directory.
