How does lumerical FDTD work?

The FDTD method solves these equations on a discrete spatial and temporal grid. Each field component is solved at a slightly different location within the grid cell (Yee cell), as shown below. The FDTD solver supports a range of boundary conditions, such as PML, periodic, and Bloch.

What is lumerical mode?

Comprehensive Optical Waveguide Design Environment MODE is a simulator within Lumerical’s DEVICE Multiphysics Simulation Suite, the world’s first multiphysics suite purpose-built for photonics designers.

What is lumerical?

Lumerical is now part of the Ansys family Lumerical’s DEVICE Suite of component-level simulation products use multiphysics-style simulation workflows to model optical, electrical and thermal effects at the physical level.

What is FDTD lumerical?

FDTD is the gold-standard for modeling nanophotonic devices, processes, and materials. FDTD is a simulator within Lumerical’s DEVICE Multiphysics Simulation Suite, the world’s first multiphysics suite purpose-built for photonics designers.

What is the difference between FEM and FDTD?

FDTD is for time varying field and FEM is for harmonic field (time is frozen). FDTD is rather for CEM for example. FEM work well for antennas. About computer memory, the two simulations are volumic meshes so need huge memory (depend on the structure simulated).

What is Lumerical FDTD?

What is varFDTD?

Lumerical MODE Solutions’ variational FDTD (varFDTD) solver efficiently simulates the propagation of optical radiation in a wide array of guided structures, from ridge waveguide-based systems to more complex geometries such as photonic crystals.

What is the difference between FEM and MoM?

Method of Moments and Finite Element Methods are two of the most used methods in computational electromagnetics to solve electromagnetic equations. As it is known, in FEM sparse matrixes are used while MoM uses the full-matrixes.
