Lumerical’s 2.5D FDTD Propagation Method
Lumerical MODE Solutions’ variational FDTD (varFDTD) solver efficiently simulates the propagation of optical radiation in a wide array of guided structures, from ridge waveguide-based systems to more complex geometries such as photonic crystals. Its ability to predict the performance of optically large components more accurately than beam propagation methods, combined with its optimized computation engine, renders it a robust waveguide design environment well suited for the virtual prototyping and optimization of planar integrated optical components and circuits.
