Gaussian Beam Propagation

  • In many laser optics applications, the laser beam is taken to be Gaussian with an optimal Gaussian distribution for the irradiance profile.
  • For this reason, Lumerical DGTD has incorporated equations and other parameters that engineers will need to calculate the laser’s divergence from perfect Gaussian behavior.
  • The M2 factor, also known as the beam quality factor, contrasts a real laser beam’s performance with a diffraction-limited Gaussian beam.
  • Custom Gaussian irradiance profiles can be created using DGTD, enabling symmetry analyses around COB distances to measure directional propagation increases.

Bloch Boundary Conditions (BC’s)

  • Lumerical DGTD enables seamless phase correction when simulating a plane wave propagating at a specified angle.
  • Bloch boundary conditions are employed in a number of settings, but they are most frequently used in simulations of periodic structures illuminated by an angled plane wave source.
  • When determining the in-plane wavevector is important, Bloch Boundary Conditions (BCs) are crucial in contextualizing results.  For instance, they are routinely utilized by photonics engineers in Bandstructure computations.

Interoperable with Multiphysics Solvers

Several multiphysics simulations are offered by Ansys Lumerical DGTD in addition to other Lumerical solutions:

  • Photovoltaic (FDTD/DGTD, CHARGE & HEAT)
  • Electro-optic (CHARGE & FDTD/DGTD/FDE)
  • Opto-thermal (FDTD/DGTD & HEAT)
  • Plasmonics (DGTD & HEAT)]

Optical Phase Change Materials with Broadband Transparency

  • Designers frequently assume that isoelectronic substitution will tend to widen the optical bandgap, which will reduce the near-infrared interband absorption.
  • One of the main embedded solutions with Lumerical DGTD is the impact of replacement, which determines the optical loss in the mid-infrared.
  • Engineers can discover impressive low-loss performance advantages from blue-shifted interband transitions and minimum FCA through proper deployment, which is supported by linked first-principle modeling and experimental characterization.
  • Utilizing the exceptional optical features of this innovative solution provided by DGTD, record low losses in non-volatile photonic circuits and electrical pixelated switching can be identified.
  • Lumerical DGTD offers a flexible visual database, with multi-coefficient broadband optical material models and scriptable material properties.
