OptiFDTD enables
you to design, analyze and test modern passive and
nonlinear photonic components for wave propagation,
scattering, reflection, diffraction, polarization and the
nonlinear phenomenon. The core program of OptiFDTD
is based on the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD)
algorithm with second-order numerical accuracy and
the most advanced boundary condition - Uniaxial
perfectly matched layer (UPML) boundary condition.
The algorithm solves both electric and magnetic fields
in temporal and spatial domain using the full-vector
differential form of Maxwell's coupled curl equations.
This allows for arbitrary model geometries and places no
restriction on the material properties of the devices. |
