MadMax Optics

MadMax Optics was formed in February, 2001 to create and commercialize a new generation of optical design software. Our goal is to become the leading provider of simulation tools for the photonics industry, enabling the production of higher performance, integrated optical components, reducing their time to market, and lowering development costs. MadMax Optics is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Plain Sight Systems.

The FMM Toolbox™ v1.02 provides a powerful set of algorithms for the MATLAB® environment. Underlying our approach is a set of optimized Fast Multipole Methods (FMMs), coupled to high-order, black-box quadrature and interpolation tools. The FMM Toolbox focuses on providing robust, fast, and high-order accurate solvers for a core set of partial differential equations ...(more)

MadMax HALO™ is an advanced, easy-to-use simulation tool for the analysis and design of micro-structured fibers. HALO utilizes highly accurate Fast Multipole Methods (FMMs) in order to achieve errors of one part in a million with modest computational effort. The results are obtained faster and more easily than with existing methods... (more)

MadMax AURA™ is an advanced, easy-to-use simulation tool for the design and analysis of fiber grating structures. Aura is based on a full Maxwell equation solver, rather than on coupled mode theory or other approximations tools. Utilizing highly accurate algorithms, including the Fast Multipole Method, errors of one part in a million are obtained with modest computational effort .... (more)

MadMax LUNA™ is a start-of-the-art, easy-to-use simulation tool for the design and analysis of 2D photonic crystal-based optical components. LUNA is based on a full solver for Maxwell's equations in the frequency-domain and uses highly accurate Fast Multipole Methods (FMMs). Errors of one part in a million are obtained with modest computational effort ... (more)

FMMPART3D™ v1.0 is a FORTRAN subroutine that uses the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) to rapidly evaluate a Coulombic particle sum, which is a core problem for many technical areas, including electrostatics, magnetostatics, incompressible flow, astrophysics, and chemistry... (more)
