From what you are designing to the right analysis and design workflow
From photonics to optical systems, each page frames the design problem and sets out the analysis technologies, products and workflow it calls for.
01
Photonics
Design and evaluation of photonic integrated circuits and photonic devices. Covers analysis of individual components, building performance up across the circuit and the link, and prototyping.

02
Optical Systems
Design and evaluation of imaging, illumination and sensing systems. Covers optical design and optimization through to light distribution, visibility and performance quantification.

How a solution page is put together
Example: metalens design, from problem to prototype in one flow
Every solution page follows the same order: framing the problem, then requirements, then workflow, then the analysis technologies and products involved. For a metalens, that looks like this.
01
Unit cell analysis
Lumerical RCWA (FDTD for verification)
02
Building the phase and transmittance library
Lumerical RCWA
03
Generating the target phase profile and mapping phase to geometry
Photonica
04
Large-scale layout generation
Photonica → GDS
05
Verification in the optical system
Zemax OpticStudio
06
Prototyping and manufacturing
Supported foundries / fabrication processes
The methods, products and stages involved vary with what you are designing.View the metalens solution
Analysis Technologies
If you would rather start from the method
The principles, applications and supporting products for each method, including FDTD, RCWA, FDE, semiconductor and electrical analysis, and thermal analysis.
Products and simulation software
If you would rather start from the product
We supply Ansys Lumerical, Zemax OpticStudio, Ansys Speos, Photonica and others.
Tell us what you are designing and what is giving you trouble
It is fine to come to us while you are still framing the problem. We will explain the analysis approach that applies and the products involved.
