I designed a 2D slot waveguide using mode analysis study in Comsol multiphysics and I want to calculate the propagation length of the mode we obtained. The mode analysis provide us propagation constant, damping and effective mode index. moreover, it gives us the complex propagation constant which consists of real part and imaginary part. the real part shows the damping and the imaginary part indicates the propagation constant.
How can I calculate the propagation length using these parameters? is it true that we divide 1 over damping to get the propagation lenght?
any help will be appreciated.
