I'm working on a plasmonic waveguide simulation in Comsol using 2d Mode Analysis to find the supported modes of the structure. I have a quite basic question:
How is the power flowing into the structure defined? For a port in 3d I can define a power, which is (probably) the total power flowing into the structure through the area of the port. For 2d no definition of a excitation boundary condition is needed. I'm just wondering because I need to compare different layouts in absolute field strength and I need to know whether the values have a normalized or somehow arbitrary scale.
Correct me if some of the above assumptions are wrong.
Best,
Julian
