Neural Boundary Conditions in Optic Guides

Abstract

In this study, the boundary coefficients of Transverse Electric (TE) and Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes at a planar slab optic guides are modeled by Neural Networks (NN). After modal analysis, train and test files are prepared for NN. Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are performed and compared with each other. NNs are expected to be capable of modeling optical fiber technology in industry based on the same approaches as a result of this study.
