      %(suggested) Target audience: people with a photonics background, but not necessarily familiar with your project or this course. An example audience would be people in the IEEE Photonics Society (including people working on solar panels, LEDs, lasers; not necessary silicon photonics experts), and professional / practicing engineers. Plan on making your document with a very high quality so that you would be proud to share it with others – aim for journal publication quality.  %Geometry: cross-section diagram is good. or a text description.  %Mode profile: referring to the target audience above, a mode profile would certainly go a long way to explain what you are doing.  %Design Report Activity: Yes, for example if you put in a delta L of 1 meter, it will tell you why that's a bad idea.  %slit-strip waveguide converter: there have been a few publications on such devices. I think the easiest to understand is to adiabatically (i.e., slowly) bring in a 2nd piece of silicon, and gradually decrease their sizes / geometry until it forms a slot waveguide. Looking through the library, I realize that we don't have example layouts of this and other slot waveguides. I'll see if I can dig one up. How to model it? The MODE-EME propagator is a good way to go (I didn't provide a tutorial on EME here).
