Programmable Grating Analyzer
Abstract
For different grating applications, one may like to access the grating diffraction properties in different manners. Besides the standard Grating Order Analyzer, VirtualLab Fusion provides a fully customizable analyzer. In this example, we show how to access the complete grating diffraction information, to display them, and to use it for further analysis or optimization. We use a pillar grating for illustration and show how to access the result of interest via Parameter Run.

Source Code Editor
For optical elements, which cannot be found in the catalogs of VirtualLab Fusion, users are able to create them by using programmable objects, e.g., programmable source, interface, medium and detector. The programming language is C#. The source code editors is the most important structure of all programmable objects.

Customized Detector for Lightguide Coupling Grating Evaluation
We present a customized detector which calculates the grating diffraction efficiencies over a user-defined incident-angle range, and also delivers the mean value and contrast of the efficiencies.
