Calculation of effective material loss (alpha-eff)

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

I was wondering while doing my undergraduate research that- if there is any way to calculate the effective material absorption loss (alpha-eff) using comsol. I know the equation, but i do not know how to calculate with it. I apologize for this silly question and I'm just an undergraduate. If it's not possible with comsol, how do i do it? What theories should I study to calculate it? It would be kind enough of anybody to help me with this!

Hi Islam, I was working in the same problem, i hope you already calculate your doubt. but if not, maybe i can help you.
I work with pcf, plasmonics, THz fibers and I came in the same problem, I calculte my Sz1 and Sz2 in COMSOL and put in my formula on Matlab and load. I test several times and i think its correct.
hope help you

Best regards
