Hi Amr,
Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) enables you to design, analyze, and test modern passive and nonlinear photonic components for wave propagation and the nonlinear phenomenon. Optiwave’s FDTD uses an advanced boundary condition – Uniaxial Perfectly Matched Layer (UPML). The algorithm solves both electric and magnetic fields in temporal and spatial domain using the full-vector differential form of Maxwell’s coupled curl equations. This allows for arbitrary model geometries and places no restriction on the material properties of the devices. The automation of these processes dramatically improves productivity of design engineers and reduces time-tomarket for the product. This, along with integration with other Optiwave photonic design automation software, all contributes to quicker return on investment and shorter pay-back period. Total Field Scattering Field (TF/SF)
Arbitrary tilting plane wave excitation algorithm that separates total field and scattering field. Ideal for Radar Cross Section (RCS) analysis and grating simulations.
