Coherence Measurement with White Light Interferometry
Analysis by Using Distributed Computing in VirtualLab Fusion
Abstract
This use case demonstrates the power of distributed computing along the example of the well-known Michelson interferometer. A polychromatic source is combined with a position scan of one of the mirrors of the interferometric setup to perform a detailed coherence measurement. Using distributed computing with a network of six local multicore PCs, the simulation time of the resulting 2,904 elementary simulations can be significantly reduced from over an hour to just under 3 minutes.
