solprop.modes#

Waveguide modes.

The mode protocol, capillary, rectangular and planar modes, transverse quadrature and mode collections (physics layer).

Modules

antiresonant

Single-ring tube-lattice modes with the Vincetti empirical fits.

base

Derived quantities of any mode: beta, alpha, group delay, dispersion, ZDW.

capillary

Marcatili modes of a gas-filled hollow capillary, with analytic derivatives.

collection

Ordered, validated sets of modes, and the overlaps between them.

connection

Derive the connection of a basis whose material interfaces move along z.

fill

Share gas-fill resolution, freezing and loss policy across hollow-waveguide modes.

graded_index

Solve radial TE/TM Maxwell sectors and a separately labelled LP approximation.

guide

Build Poynting-normalised bound-mode providers with explicit material ownership.

material

Describe material laws and region ownership independently of longitudinal paths.

protocol

The mode protocol: what the rest of solprop needs from a waveguide mode.

quadrature

Fixed transverse quadrature rules and the mode matrices built on them.

rectangular

Model gas-filled rectangular waveguides with dielectric or metallic walls.

slab

Model the hollow planar (slab) waveguide: two plates, a gas-filled gap, uniform y.

stepindex

Solve the exact, lossless vector eigenproblem of a circular step-index fibre.

tabulated

Build waveguide modes from loaded effective-index arrays.

vector

Represent internal-convention Maxwell samples on physical area quadrature.
