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

Light is represented by a single or a set of harmonic fields. In VirtualLab™ basic source models are used to generate harmonic fields with one or a set of wavelengths based on a user-defined power spectrum. Planar source models can be applied to model spatial partially-coherent light. They all use an elementary mode per harmonic field set member. Gaussian and customized laterally shifted modes are applied to LEDs, excimer lasers and VCSELs. Hermite and Laguerre Gaussian modes are used for multimode lasers. Also for planar sources arbitrary power spectra can be specified.
