Introduction Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) have emerged as one of the most transformative innovations in the field of optical communications. Distinguished by their unique internal microstructure—typically an arrangement of air holes running longitudinally through the fiber—PCFs offer distinct advantages over traditional step-index or graded-index fibers. Their ability to confine light through mechanisms such as index […]
Introduction Orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes have emerged as a promising candidate for dramatically expanding the information-carrying capacity of optical fibers. Unlike conventional modes that carry only spin angular momentum, OAM modes possess a helical phase front characterized by an azimuthal phase dependence of the form $\exp(i\ell\phi)$, where $\ell$ is the topological charge and $\phi$ […]
Introduction Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) have emerged as a transformative platform in modern photonics, enabling applications that extend far beyond the reach of conventional optical fibers. These microstructured fibers are distinguished by their periodic air-hole cladding, which manipulates light propagation through mechanisms such as index-guiding or photonic bandgap effects. Their versatility makes PCFs indispensable across […]
1. Introduction The pursuit of higher data rates and longer transmission distances in optical communication systems has intensified the demand for fibers that simultaneously exhibit flat dispersion and low loss. These characteristics are critical: while dispersion distorts the temporal profile of optical pulses, leading to inter-symbol interference, attenuation results in signal weakening that necessitates frequent […]
Designing Photonic Crystal Fibers for OAM Modes : Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) represent a class of optical fibers that incorporate periodic microstructures—typically arrays of air holes in a silica matrix—to guide light through modified refractive index profiles. These structures offer highly tunable modal characteristics, which are essential in specialized applications such as nonlinear optics, sensing, […]
Introduction Optical simulations have become a critical cornerstone in advancing modern photonics, telecommunications, biomedical imaging, and optoelectronic device engineering.

In this landscape, COMSOL Multiphysics has emerged as one of the leading platforms, offering sophisticated tools for simulating electromagnetic […]
Introduction Simulating a sphere within Earth’s magnetic field is a significant endeavor at the crossroads of planetary science, geophysics, and engineering. This simulation addresses fundamental questions about magnetic field interactions with bodies and assists in designing satellites, interpreting geomagnetic data, and predicting space weather phenomena. Understanding these interactions not only enhances our comprehension of Earth’s […]
Challenges or Open Questions While COMSOL Multiphysics 6.3 brings substantial advancements, it does not fully eliminate persistent challenges inherent to high-fidelity multiphysics simulation. One significant hurdle remains the computational demands associated with large-scale or real-time simulations. Even with the inclusion of GPU acceleration, scenarios involving fully coupled nonlinear phenomena across disparate scales often require vast […]
If you’ve ever felt the drag of manual steps slowing down your simulation-prediction pipeline, you’re not alone. Engineers, researchers, and data scientists have long struggled to bridge the gap between physics-based modeling and data-driven analytics. But what if I told you there’s a way to automate this entire process — from simulation to AI prediction […]
Introduction In biosensor research and development, numerical simulation has emerged as a cornerstone technique, providing powerful insights that extend far beyond what experimental prototyping alone can achieve. By computationally solving complex coupled systems—spanning fluid dynamics, diffusion-reaction mechanisms, and electrochemical interactions—researchers can now predict biosensor behavior with a high degree of accuracy before fabrication even begins.
