Design of Refractive Beam Shapers

[July 30, 2018]
Refractive beam shapers are of great help in several laser-related applications. For example, in material processing, the laser beams are often required to have uniform distributions, like top-hat, on the target plane. In VirtualLab, refractive beam shapers can be designed by using a user-friendly workflow, and the design results can be exported into those formats which are ready for fabrication purpose.

Modeling of Microlens Array and Diffraction at Apertures

[July 30, 2018]
Microlens arrays can be found in different applications, such as imaging, wavefront sensing, and so on. With the physical-optics simulation technique in VirtualLab, the working principle of the microlens array, e.g. in the case of wavefront sensing, can be clearly demonstrated, and the performance of such systems can be evaluated efficiently. And, it is worth mentioning that the diffraction effect from the edge of microlenses can be taken into consideration in the simulation.

Evaluation of Fiber Coupling Lenses and Their Design

[July 30, 2018]
How to ensure a high-efficient coupling of light into optical fibers is an important question in all fiber-related applications. In VirtualLab, the focal field behind the coupling lens can be easily calculated with the fast physical optics simulation engine, and by calculating the overlap integral, the fiber coupling efficiency can be evaluated. Additionally, with the parametric optimization, the lens parameter can be designed for customized situations.

Thermal Lens and Stress-Induced Birefringence

[July 30, 2018]
It is vital in design to be able to include in your simulation not only those properties or components that play an intentional, wanted role in the system, but also, and with particular care, those effects which have the potential to interfere with its intended purpose, in order to quantify and, if possible, avoid them. Below we show two examples of VirtualLab’s potential in this area: all thanks to its fast and accurate approach, and an interface that allows you both to import measured data (from, e.g., ANSYS) or to include the effects via readily available or customized mathematical models.

Construction and Modeling of Graded-Index Media

[July 30, 2018]
Graded-index, or GRIN, media are employed in optics to construct, among other components, lenses and multimode fibers. In VirtualLab you can easily choose to include GRIN media as part of your optical system, as it includes a fast and accurate modeling technique accompanied by a user-friendly interface that makes setting up the GRIN component a really easy task.

Investigation of Fields in Focal Region

[July 30, 2018]
It is of importance to understand how the field evolves when it propagates through the focal region along the optical axis. In VirtualLab Fusion, by using the Parameter Run, it allows a scanning of the field at any plane of interest, and thus you may have access to the complete electromagnetic field information within the focal region. Particularly, all the possible vectorial effects due to high-NA focusing are taken into account.
