Cross-Platform Parameter Sweep with Python
Abstract
VirtualLab Fusion allows external access to its modeling technology, solvers and results. This is helpful in order to be able to apply other data processing or optimization tools to further investigate optical simulations. In this example, we demonstrate how to run a parameter sweep using a Python script and how to collect the results, which can be further processed with all the capabilities offered by Python. Exemplarily, the diffraction efficiency of a grating is analyzed rigorously.

Tutorial
Cross-Platform Optical Modeling and Design with VirtualLab Fusion and MATLAB
We demonstrate how to use MATLAB to access the field solvers in VirtualLab Fusion, and use them together with MATLAB functions for analysis and optimization.
Use Case
Stretching or Compression of Ultrashort Pulses with Highly Efficient Transmission Gratings
We demonstrate, according to T. Clausnitzer et al., how to build up a pulse stretching or compression system with two transmission gratings. Especially, we analyze the polarization dependency of such systems.
