Investigation of Diffraction in Interferometer Caused by Sharp Relief
Analysis by Using Distributed Computing
Abstract
Interferometric optical setups can be used for the detailed investigation of samples. Within this use case we analyze the diffraction effects caused by a sample with a sharp relief in a Michelson interferometer. In order to model the while light source properly, the analysis comprises a set of 500 different wavelengths. By consecutive simulation steps, the overall simulation time would be in the range of one hour. By using the distributed computing in VirtualLab Fusion with a network of 24 clients on 6 multicore processor PCs, the simulation time can be reduced to less than 4 minutes.
