Technology
We are creating a revolutionary simulation environment for the optoelectronics industry, allowing designers to model, characterize and predict the behavior of optical components before building prototypes. This modeling capability is intended to shorten optical component production cycles and to enable the creation of higher performance, more integrated devices.
Existing optical design tools are based on models that are unable to provide quantitative, accurate solutions when faced with the geometric complexities inherent in designing high-performance optical components. They typically use approximations of Maxwell's equations based on geometrical optics or weak scattering assumptions. These have been useful for designers, but yield only qualitative pictures of the behavior of optical signals, rather than reliable quantitative results.
Instead of using simple approximations or unwieldy brute-force techniques, we are developing an optimized, accurate simulation environment, which will provide the rapid solution of Maxwell's equations in structures that have been considered too complex for direct simulation.
