Enhancements of 3-D Grating Simulation

(August 27, 2010)

The simulation of 3-D grating structures is being considerably enhanced in the forthcoming version of VirtualLab™. Real 3-D grating structures are used more and more extensively for the design of optical components. The rigorous simulation techniques provided by VirtualLab™ give an insight to the op...

VirtualLab™ 4.8 Released

(July 09, 2010)

VirtualLab™ and VirtualLab™ Advanced 4.8 have been released. VirtualLab™ 4.8 extends the flexibility of 2-D grating simulations. Using so called stacks, the period of the structure can be defined by sequences of optical interfaces, including grating, conical, aspherical, sampled and programmable int...

Sources of Starter Toolbox

The Starter Toolbox is equipped with a large range of sources, e. g., Gaussian and super Gaussian laser beams, spherical and plane waves, multimode lasers, LEDs, excimer lasers and VCSELS. For each source you can specify a power spectrum to include color and temporal coherence. Source power spectra can be imported from measurements or specified by the black-body radiation law, Doppler broadening and natural line width.

Polychromatic light allows you to investigate material and angular dispersion for instance in spectroscopy.
