The VirtualLab Fusion Product Family
We differentiate between the multiscale optical simulation and design software VirtualLab Fusion as the platform,
and additional packages, which can be combined to suit your needs.
Capabilities of VirtualLab Fusion’s Core Functionality
While many software solutions can handle classical optical elements such as lenses,
mirrors, and prisms, VirtualLab Fusion not only matches these capabilities but surpasses them, offering advanced features that make it truly unique.
What sets VirtualLab Fusion apart is its ability to go beyond traditional ray optics, providing unparalleled precision in areas where conventional tools fall short.
- Advanced Modeling of Diffraction Effects
Precisely simulates diffraction, making it ideal for designing optical systems involving lasers, fiber coupling, apertures, and other diffraction-sensitive components.
- Accurate Analysis of Coherence and Interference
VirtualLab Fusion provides powerful tools for developing systems such as interferometers, optical coherence tomography, and imaging applications that rely on wave-optical effects.
- High-Precision Polarization Simulation
Enables the design of optical systems where polarization control is critical, such as optical sensors, metrology setups, and other advanced applications.
- Seamless Integration of Multiple Optical Effects
VirtualLab Fusion allows for the simultaneous consideration of diffraction, coherence, interference, and polarization, ensuring a comprehensive approach to optical system design.
