How to define the incident light mode (TE and TM)

Hi all,
I am a very new user of COMSOL. Currently, I am trying to build the 3D model of the normal waveguide with Si core, air up-cladding, and SiO2 bottom-cladding. I want to simulate the transmitted power under different incident light mode (TE and TM). I am using the physic of* electromagnetic waves, freqency domain (emw)* and study of* boundary mode analysis and frequency domain*. In emw, I set port 1 and port 2 for the input and output, respectively. My question is: how can I set the incident light mode in the settings of port? For instance, if I want to set the input light mode as TE, which type of port should I use? I tried to use "defined option", but I don't know how to set my "port mode settings". I know that the E field component in the direction of propagation is 0, but how much are the values for other components? (see figure 1.).

Hello Danni the optical mode can be defined using port type setting into rectangular type or using user defined by setting the values of Ex=0, Ey=0, Ez=1in TE and Hx=0, Hy=0, Hz=1 in TM mode
