Investigating the Penrose Unilluminable Room with Ray Optics

June 23, 2022

Is the Penrose unilluminable room really unilluminable? We investigate this question using the Ray Optics and Wave Optics modules…

Modeling Graphene in High-Frequency Electromagnetics

June 15, 2022

Graphene exhibits a variety of interesting properties, including high elasticity and mechanical strength. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to model graphene in an electromagnetic simulation.

Electromagnetic Scattering in 2D Axisymmetric Models

April 12, 2022

You can save computational time and memory by performing electromagnetic scattering in 2D axisymmetric models rather than 3D. Learn more here.

Modeling a Scatterer Near an Optical Waveguide

August 25, 2020

In the real world, most structures are more complex than a 2D dielectric slab. However, if you’re designing photonic structures, you can learn a lot about wave optics modeling from this example.

Modeling Waveguides that Support Multiple Modes 

August 12, 2020

2 ways you can model a waveguide that supports multiple modes: add a PML that can be used to absorb any modes, or explicitly add ports for each possible mode.
