Programming Custom Detectors

In some of our previous newsletters we already spoke of the potential for customization via programming, which is characteristic of the optical modeling and design software VirtualLab Fusion. In the current newsletter we present another programmable element: detectors. Full accessibility to the vectorial electromagnetic field, paired with the customizability, further increases versatility, facilitating the implementation of any detector function. Find below two documents that illustrate how to work with the Programmable Detector in VirtualLab Fusion: a detailed tutorial and an additional example in a more condensed format.

How to Work with the Programmable Detector and Example

Follow this step-by-step tutorial on how to work with the Programmable Detector in VirtualLab Fusion to learn how to program your own custom detectors!

Programming a Degree of Coherence Detector

The custom detector presented in this example computes the complex degree of coherence between two different points in the detector plane.
