The RSoft Photonic Device Tools provide the most comprehensive set of rigorous optical solvers to design photonic devices and systems. The latest release, version 2024.09, expands the platform’s capabilities for automated metalens design as well as multi-physics simulations for optoelectronic devices and illumination systems.
The RSoft Photonic Device Tools 2024.09 release includes many new features to improve usability and speed for improved photonic device/grating simulation:
- Support for GPU-based FDTD simulation in FullWAVE FDTD
- Supports NVIDIA GPU hardware
- Significant speedup, exact speedup is hardware/problem dependent
- Non-orthogonal unit cells in DiffractMOD RCWA
- More efficient simulation of hexagonal lattice structures
- RSoft BSDF files produced with this new feature can be fully used by the RSoft BSDF UDOP in LightTools and MetaOptic Designer
- Support for far-field and MTF targets for MetaOptic Designer
- Enables design/simulation of metalens with specific far-field or MTF targets
