Analysis
Data analysis to extract waveguide group index, etc.
Comparison of experimental results with simulations.
Data analysis was performed to extract the waveguide group index, compare experimental results with simulations. Course provided matlab and python code was used to perform the analysis. The first thing for analysis is to realize we need to calibrate the data. Due to the limited bandwidth of the Gradient Couplers that pass the light into the waveguide, we want to model this cutoff and use this to provide a method to subtract our the couplers attenuation characteristics from our actual measured results.
