A sound analysis of the performance of a system whose purpose is to couple light into an optical fiber forcefully passes through a full physical-optics simulation of the set-up, as does a successful design of such a system: a small deviation in the position of the fiber entrance or in the beam profile, can affect the resulting coupling efficiency, with unnecessary waste of resources ensuing.
VirtualLab Fusion, as a fully vectorial physical-optics software package, provides a flexible source model to realistically mimic the properties and behavior of light, an array of field solvers capable of efficiently simulating light propagating through high-NA lenses, a fast propagation operator to calculate the field in the focal region, and a bespoke detector for calculating the coupling efficiency via the overlap integral with respect to a fully customizable reference mode.
In this webinar we will take advantage of all of the above to guide the users through the analysis and design of fiber-coupling systems.
