Monochromators
VirtualLab Fusion and its fast physical optics concept provide a platform for the analysis of complex optical systems, like monochromators, yielding fast results that include a rigorous method for the gratings which is logically included in the model for the overall system. This allows for
- a realistic calculation of the efficiencies for the different diffraction orders
- a study of the manner in which those diffraction orders propagate and interact with the rest of the optical system
- an analysis of the possible overlap among said diffraction orders
Both ray and physical optics simulations are possible, with a user-friendly interface which permits easy switching between the two.

Related Information
The Fourier modal method (FMM) can be used to analyze grating efficiencies rigorously. VirtualLab allows rigorous efficiency analysis for single simulations as well as for parameter variations.
