The Digital Twin Platform for Light
Accelerate Your R&D.
Innovate Without Boundaries.
Tired of stitching together disparate simulations for your optical systems? Modern optical systems are complex combinations of sources, components, and detectors. While you may find simulation tools for individual components, a full-system simulation is often hampered by incompatible simulation concepts and software tools.
Our Vision
A virtual laboratory where every real-world source, component, and detector is replaced by its Optical Digital Twin. Each twin intelligently mimics the optical function of its counterpart, giving you the freedom to stop worrying about software interoperability and data interfaces and start concentrating on what truly matters: building systems, investigating performance, and generating innovative solutions.
How We Make It Work: The Major Innovations
Intelligent Twins
Each digital twin has its own tailored, built-in simulation model. Move beyond a single “one-size-fits-all” simulator and choose the perfect balance of speed and accuracy for your task.
A Universal Language
We use Electromagnetic Fields as the universal lingua franca. This ensures full interoperability between all twins, breaking down the traditional barriers between different simulation models.
Intelligent Speed vs. Accuracy Trade-offs
While our field-native paradigm ensures interoperability by using exact electromagnetic fields at the twin interfaces, we apply intelligent, application-specific approximations inside each twin’s model where physically justified. This delivers controlled trade-offs between simulation speed and accuracy based on your needs.
The Smart Orchestrator
The Field Tracing Engine acts as the conductor. It seamlessly manages light propagation between all the digital twins in your system without interfering with their internal models.
The Result:
A truly interoperable Digital Twin Platform for Light.
The Next Leap: VirtualLab Fusion 2026.1
We are turning the vision into reality. The upcoming release represents a major leap toward the full Digital Twin Platform for Light, featuring:
- Instant Access & Integration
Find and use the exact Digital Twins you need from our ever-growing Digital Twin Hub. Join us in previewing its development ahead of the February 2026.1 release.
- Informed Selection
Use the detailed specification sheet with each twin to select the one that best fits your use case and accuracy/speed trade-off.
- Extensible by You
For expert users, our twin SDKs allow you to create and integrate your own proprietary Digital Twins – protecting your IP – while leveraging the full power of the platform.
- Award-Winning Potential
Our Lightguide Twin for AR has been named a 2026 SPIE Prism Award Finalist in XR Technology.
