Cross-Platform Optical Modeling and Design with VirtualLab Fusion and Python
Abstract
VirtualLab Fusion allows Python external access to its modeling technology, solvers and results. This use case is an introduction to a simple way of connecting Python to VirtualLab Fusion using the PATH-Variable and Visual Studio Code. In this example, we demonstrate how to run an optical simulation using a Python script to give the user a brief overview of this cross-platform simulation capability.
