JCMsuite Application Areas
Rigorous simulation for nano-optical application fields.
Modern nano-optical systems require extensive simulation. JCMsuite provides rigorous electromagnetic field computation for understanding, designing, and optimizing devices across demanding application areas.
Application Area
Computational Lithography
JCMsuite allows for the complete optical simulation chain: the description of complex illuminations, the computation of optical fields propagating through optical imaging systems and through photomasks up to the formation of images in photoresists.
Application Area
Computational Metrology
Optical metrology for structures with periods larger than half of the illumination wavelength has become a standard metrology technique. Fast and rigorous simulation techniques together with designed measurement setups enable optical metrology approaches in deep subwavelength regimes.
Application Area
Waveguides and Fibers
JCMsuite computes waveguide modes and propagation constants for single- and multimode fibers, photonic crystal fibers, microstructured fibers, integrated optical waveguides, and plasmonic waveguides. Mode computation in cylindrical and twisted coordinate systems allows rigorous simulation of waveguide bending.
Application Area
Photovoltaics
JCMsuite supports analysis of photovoltaic layer structures and material compositions, random and micro-structured layers, backreflectors and surfaces, plasmonic effects of regular or random particle distributions, and nonlinear effects including frequency conversion.
Application Area
Light Sources
Laser diodes, VCSELs, LEDs, OLEDs, and single-photon sources are fundamental building blocks of optical devices. JCMsuite enables efficient simulation and optimization of their optical properties, including far field distributions, fiber-coupling efficiencies, and thermal lensing effects.
Application Area
Nanostructured Materials
JCMsuite supports the design and analysis of optical properties of nanostructured materials, including plasmonic materials, chiral materials, photonic crystals and quasi-crystals, metamaterials, rough interfaces, and nanocomposites.
