Agenda

This webinar will start with an overview of the broad set of component level solvers it offers with an emphasis on FDTD and MODE. It will then show how these solvers can be used to simulate and optimize novel designs in a wide range of applications including micro-LEDs, augmented reality, magneto-optics and lasers.

FDTD
A finely tuned implementation of the FDTD method that delivers reliable, powerful and scalable solver performance over a broad spectrum of photonics applications.

MODE
A waveguide design environment with bidirectional field expansion and varFDTD

CHARGE
A finite element drift-diffusion charge transport solver

HEAT
A finite element heat solver for conduction, convection and radiative effects

FEEM
A finite-element Ansys Maxwell’s solver based on the Eigenmode method

DGTD
A finite-element solver based on the discontinuous Galerkin time-domain method

MQW
A quantum-well gain simulator

STACK
An analytical solver for thin film multilayer stacks

Target Group

Engineers in charge of the development of photonic components

Benefits

The capability to run large scale physical simulations using the mature and approximation free FDTD method gives a new level of confidence at tape-out.
