Comprehensive Research Software

A type of scientific research with the aim of improving scientific theories for better understanding and prediction of natural or other phenomena. Photonics research can help scientists work on fundamental scientific theories by offering up new avenues of exploration and powerful tools to help understand the underlying causes of natural phenomena.

Our software is fully equipped to help scientists explore these fundamental theories from multiple angles.

  • Based on the Finite Difference Time-Domain method, OptiFDTD is a great way to research the fundamental properties of photonics, like light scattering. Researchers can use this software to model many forms of light propagation and reactions, including diffusion, reflection, and polarization.
  • OptiSystem is helpful for research exploring emerging fields like quantum states. Scientists can simulate the interaction of photons in different states and study their reactions to understand fundamental properties.

FAQs

How can photonics help with fundamental research?
Photonics deals with the manipulation of light particles. Scientists can use this field to study the fundamental properties of matter further, delving into related fields like quantum optics and topology.

Do I need a powerful PC to conduct photonics research?
It depends on the subject of your research. A scientist exploring quantum states of light or running complex simulations might need a relatively more powerful PC, while someone studying the basic refraction of light would likely not. You can check our system requirements to see if your hardware specs can run Optiwave software.
