Running VirtualLab Fusion Optical Simulations with Python
Abstract
VirtualLab Fusion allows Python external access to its modeling technology, solvers and results. This use case is an introduction to a simple way of connecting Python to VirtualLab Fusion using the PATH-Variable and Visual Studio Code. In this example, we demonstrate how to run an optical simulation using a Python script to give the user a brief overview of this cross-platform simulation capability.
