Abstract :
An approach for the implementation of unidirectional multiphysics resulting in a change of the refractive index in high-frequency applications is provided. The method addresses material effects like thermooptic effect, Pockels and Kerr electrooptic effect, photoelastic effect, thermal expansion and converse piezoelectric effect for modulation of optical circuits in wave propagation software. As an example, the wave propagation in a Fabry-Perot interferometer subjected to mechanical strain is considered.
