WebWaveguide: 3‑Region Guided‑Mode & Facet‑Reflectance Solver
WebWaveguide is a browser‑based optical waveguide analysis tool for
three‑region lossless slab structures. It computes guided TE₀/TM₀ modes, displays
their intensity profiles, and evaluates facet reflectance for multilayer coatings.
- TE₀ and TM₀ mode solving with intensity‑profile visualization
- Supports up to three facet‑coating layers
- Modal reflectance data and plots vs. first‑layer thickness
- Total facet reflectance (Vassallo method) for symmetric waveguides
- FWHM and Far Field plots for symmetric waveguides
- TE₀/TM₀ confinement factors and mode indices
- Automatic cutoff detection for both TE₀ and TM₀ modes
- Snapshot feature for saving mode‑profile graphics
This tool is part of the JavaScience collection of optical and numerical solvers.
