Part 2: Parameter extraction and Monte Carlo using MODE Part 1: Design and initial simulation using MODE Part 3 does the final simulation and parameter extraction using a 3D FDTD simulation. In Part 2, we will consider how to carry out the parameter extraction and Monte Carlo analysis process for this design. Free spectral range (FSR) and quality factor (Q factor) are key performance metrics for this silicon on insulator (SOI) based waveguide design targeting on-chip communication applications. Part 1 of the ring resonator tutorial uses MODE to design and simulate a ring resonator.
