What’s new in our Optical Modeling and Design Software?

It is vital in design to be able to include in your simulation not only those properties or components that play an intentional, wanted role in the system, but also, and with particular care, those effects which have the potential to interfere with its intended purpose, in order to quantify and, if possible, avoid them.

Below we show two examples of VirtualLab’s potential in this area: all thanks to its fast and accurate approach, and an interface that allows you both to import measured data (from, e.g., ANSYS) or to include the effects via readily available or customized mathematical models.

Graded-index, or GRIN, media are employed in optics to construct, among other components, lenses and multimode fibers. In VirtualLab you can easily choose to GRIN media as part of your optical system, as it includes a fast and accurate modeling technique accompanied by a user-friendly interface that makes setting up the GRIN component a really easy task.

It is of importance to understand how the field is evolving during the propagation through the focal region along the optical axis.

In VirtualLab Fusion, with the Parameter Run, it is possible to perform a scan of the field along a succession of planes, and thus to have access to the complete information of the electromagnetic field inside the focal region. Particularly, all eventual vectorial effects due to high-NA focusing are taken into account.

Lasers and laser systems play an indispensable role in modern life. They can be found in various applications such as laser material processing, metrology, monitoring, lighting, and so on. Physical-optics based modeling techniques are necessary for the successful design and analysis of a laser system. With its second-generation field tracing technique, VirtualLab constitutes a suitable tool to perform an efficient evaluation of laser systems. We demonstrate, as examples, the collimation of a laser diode with astigmatism and a laser scanning system.

Interferometry techniques are widely used in many fields, such as astronomy, metrology, and quantum mechanics. In an interferometer, the incoming light is split into two (or even more) beams. The split beams will travel along different paths which eventually overlap, their superposition generating an interference pattern which can be used for further analysis. Now, with the non-sequential extension, such multi-path optical systems can be easily set up and modeled in a more convenient way in VirtualLab.
