Femtosecond laser are now a regular tool of the modern ophtalmic surgeon, for instance in cataract surgery by enabling precise cut of the cristalline lens tissue before removal. As femtosecond laser tissue interaction is highly dependant of the energy spatial density, a simplified model ... Read More
Our goal is to create plasmons to enhance All Optical Switching (AOS) of the magnetization. We used a finite-element model in order to understand the impact of plasmonic disk-shaped nanoantennas on magneto-optical effects. We first tested our model without an antenna and compare it with ...

The aim of this study is to compare the diffraction efficiency of a sinusoidal diffraction grating numerically calculated using COMSOL Multiphysics® with the measured results performed with a custom-made equipment and calculations using Bessel functions. A diffraction grating with the ... Read More
In order to better understand the effect of controlled surface topographical features on SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) enhancement factors, simulations of plasmonic properties of different gold surfaces (smooth, rough and nanostructured) have been carried out using the finite ...

As the application of nanoscale structures becomes increasingly commonplace in modern technologies, the comprehensive modelling of the subject has taken centre stage in its understanding. Take the modern application of nanoscale texturing for optical anti-reflectance as an example here; ... Read More
The present work introduces a new methodology, based on COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder, to account for the “beam trapping” effect in multiphysical modelling of laser welding. Incident intensities involved in laser welding processes are high enough to induce material ... Read More
Augmented reality (AR) provides the unique ability to interact with virtual information, while also interacting with information in the real world. Lightguides can be used in the place of complicated freeform optics to make a light weight augmented reality device. In this paper this ... Read More
Seawater can be converted into fresh water using solar energy. This is as an easy, suitable and green solution method to obtain heat for desalination. It is possible to concentrate the sunlight heat flux onto a small focal area by using a Fresnel lens. When the focal area is correctly ... Read More
Optical devices are generally simulated using ideal structures. These ideal geometries are critical in finding major features of the optical response. Unfortunately, fabrication of such devices rarely results in structures that are ideal.[1] In particular, surface roughness is rarely ... Read More
We demonstrate a COMSOL Multiphysics®-based approach to light management for upconversion-based solar cells (UBSCs). Single-junction solar cells are of high importance to sustainable energy production, however the cells are limited in their performance by the bandgap of the solar cell. ... Read More
