Beta (propagation constant) Inquiry [Lumerical MODE]

      Hello! I found that I can graph Beta or the propagation constant using the frequency sweep of the FDE of Lumerical Mode. However, I would like to ask if I can code these commands in using Lumerical Script? Thank you!

      You can get neff and then calcualgte beta as

      beta=neff*k0

      where k0=2*pi/lambda

      using this script to get neff

      neff=getdata("mode1","neff")

      you can change the mode name to be mode2, mode3 etc.
