Multiscale Optical Simulation Becomes Key Trend

VirtualLab Fusion stands out as a groundbreaking optical simulation and design software, featuring a unique
multiscale simulation concept at its core.

 

Incorporate Nanostructured
Optical Components Into Your System

One contributing factor is the growing incorporation of nano- and micro-structured components such as fibers, gratings, diffractive lenses, metalenses, and optical diffusers in optical systems.


Leading optical modeling software requires a robust multiscale simulation approach.


 

Simulating the Creation of Images

from Minuscule Objects

Secondly, another reason of comparable significance arises when considering the incorporation of microstructured objects into lens systems and the necessity to model the image-forming capabilities of the lens system for such objects. Consider, for instance, modeling scenarios like a microscope employed for wafer inspection or an optical sensor used in air quality analysis, where it is crucial to simulate the scattering impact caused by particles.

 

Evaluating the Influence of
Microstructured Defects and
Impurities on Optical Components

Thirdly, we must consider the numerous unintentional occurrences of scratches, microstructured imperfections, scattering dust particles, and surface roughness that manifest in otherwise large-scale optical systems. In these instances, the simulation ought to reveal the adverse impact on the intended optical function of the nominal system.

 

Multiscale Architecture in Optical Systems

In all three scenarios, the systems operate across a range of geometric scales, spanning from large-scale structures down to nanostructures. Systems of this kind are referred to as possessing a multiscale architecture. Consequently, simulating such systems is termed multiscale optical simulation. Contemporary optical design software demands a robust multiscale simulation strategy. Otherwise, it will fail to keep up with the rapidly expanding range of application scenarios and use cases emerging in modern optics and photonics practice.
