Photon Design

FIMMPROP is a highly innovative tool for simulating propagation in optical waveguides in 2D and 3D, which is fully integrated as part of our optical mode solver FIMMWAVE and relies on the rigorous EigenMode Expansion (EME) method.

FIMMPROP is ideal for the modelling of optical propagation in structures with high refractive-index contrast, commonly found in silicon photonics and III-V integrated optics, for which approximate techniques such as the beam propagation method (BPM) would be inaccurate, and methods such as FDTD or FEM would be extremely slow.

PICWave is a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design tool which brings together:

• an advanced laser diode and SOA model,

• a powerful photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design and simulation tool,

• a flexible design flow environment.

The combination of the laser diode and photonic integrated circuit design capability allows you to characterise any laser diode geometry and model photonic circuits that include both passive and active components.

OmniSim is a powerful and flexible simulation package for the design and optimisation of nano-photonic and plasmonic devices.

Featuring a flexible layout editor allowing you to design virtually any photonic device you want, and it's packed with a complete suite of high-performance 3D and 2D Maxwell solvers, including

• our FDTD Engine : a state-of-the-art 2D/3D Finite Difference Time Domain engine, probably the most popular propagation algorithm for photonics.

• our FETD Engine : our unique 2D/3D Finite Element Time Domain tool, ideal for modelling plasmonics, metamaterials or graphene-based devices accurately.

• And others! See our website for more information.
  
  

HAROLD is an advanced hetero-structure simulator for modelling Fabry-Perot quantum well lasers with near-arbitrary vertical structure and layer compositions. It is based on well-established physical models which account for a large number of physical processes, thus enabling one to obtain a very comprehensive set of simulation results by which one can test and improve one’s laser designs.
