Introduction to the Parametric Optimization Document

Abstract

The Parametric Optimization document of VirtualLab Fusion enables the user to apply non-linear optimization algorithms for their Optical Setups. The document guides you through the configuration of the optimization and outputs the results in a table.

This tutorial explains the available options and setting. Currently, three local and one global optimization algorithms are included.

Use Case

Rigorous Analysis and Design of Anti-Reflective Moth-Eye Structures

With the Fourier modal method and the parametric optimization in VirtualLab Fusion, we demonstrate the analysis and design of anti-reflective moth-eye structures.

Use Case

Optimization of Lightguide with Continuously Modulated

This use case demonstrates how to optimize a lightguide with continuously varying fill factor of the gratings in the EPE and outcoupler regions to achieve adequate lateral uniformity in the eyebox.

Use Case

Design of 2D Non-Paraxial Beam-Splitting Metagrating

We design a 2D metagrating for beam splitting. The metagrating is constructed, analyzed, and further optimized in VirtualLab Fusion, especially in terms of the uniformity of the diffraction efficiencies.
