Endoscopy enables minimally invasive optical imaging of internal organs, which facilitates medical diagnostics, image-driven biopsy, and experimental surgery. One of the most critical parameters of endoscopes is their size, which poses main limitations on the clinical applications. Therefore, research and development… Read More
Ansys and Rand Simulation will be presenting an overview of Ansys Lumerical for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and related components on April 12 at 11 AM EST. We will be covering electronic-photonic design automation (EPDA) workflows and the Lumerical compact model library (CML) compiler to provide an end-to-end representation
Diffractive optical components like diffraction gratings and metalenses are becoming increasingly crucial for challenging applications like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Ansys Lumerical’s RCWA solver is ideal for efficient and accurate simulation of this multilayered, periodic optical device.
With the 2023 R1 release, Ansys Zemax introduces new features such as enhanced support for 2D gratings with the Lumerical sub-wavelength Dynamic Link DLL and tolerancing surface irregularities for any physical surface. We’ll show how to analyze the shape of any complex surface in non-sequential mode to ensure manufacturability,
Join us to hear about new capabilities and features in our 2023 R1 release of Ansys Lumerical. We introduce specific accuracy, performance, and usability improvements across our products, as we continue to push the innovation envelope. Buckle up for the fastest simulations of your life.

Ansys offers a new advanced workflow to model how light is scattered by surface roughness at the sub-wavelength scale with Ansys Lumerical FDTD and see how it is perceived by the human eye with realistic illumination conditions with Ansys Speos.
In this webinar, we’ll explain how to … Read More
In the past, I’ve focused my annual predictions on electronics – ICs and EDA – but recently I’ve turned my focus to photonics, so my 2020 predictions are primarily in this area.
Historically, photonics has been the Gallium Arsenide of technologies; it was, is and always will be the technology of the future. Analysts have forever … Read More
I recently wrote about this year’s Cadence Photonics Summit. As I mentioned in that post, it was a fascinating event with several companies providing useful and informative presentations. You can access some of the presentations on the event site. One presentation, given by Jose Capmany of iPronics, was especially interesting… Read More
On November 13, Cadence held its annual Photonics Summit. Cadence has been hosting this event for several years with the intention of advancing the photonics industry. With this event, Cadence has been a catalyst in furthering photonic product development. It’s quite remarkable that Cadence hosts such an event in a field where… Read More
LIDAR is a controversial topic, with even Elon Musk weighing in on whether it will ever be feasible for use in self driving cars. His contention is that the sensors will remain too expensive and potentially be unreliable because of their mechanical complexity. However, each of the sensors available for autonomous driving have … Read More
