How to compute Poynting vector in comsol

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello, I am a user of COMSOL. I am conducting simulation and modeling related to optical fibers and I want to calculate the loss of the effective material. After consulting relevant literature, I found that it is necessary to calculate the Poynting vector in the z-direction. How can I set the relevant variables for calculation in COMSOL? Specifically, it involves the cross product of the electric field and the conjugation of magnetic field, and I am not sure how to input the formula. I hope someone can help me solve this problem. The relevant formulas are provided in the attachment. Thank you so much for your assistance. I am truly grateful for your help.

In the RF module, the three components of the Poynting vector are directly available in post processing, as (emw.Poavx, emw.Poavy, emw.Poavz).
