Announcement

Lumerical Solutions invites you to attend a training seminar designed specifically to meet the needs of your research and development work.

What Topics will be addressed?

The course consists of two parts -- a general introduction into FDTD Solutions (day 1) and advanced topics (day 2).

Day 1

Description: This session is an excellent starting point for anyone interested in using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method to model wavelength-scale optical devices and phenomena. This training session gives hands-on experience using FDTD Solutions to create simulations and analyze results step-by-step.

Topics:

Using the Layout Editor effectively
Treating design problems efficiently with the FDTD Solutions workflow
Creating optical structures and defining material properties
Using narrow and broadband sources
Choosing monitors to obtain spatial and/or frequency-dependent data
Analyzing data and plotting results
Scripting commands (basic)
Q&A: user-supplied examples and questions

Day 2

Description: Gain greater understanding of the more advanced features of FDTD Solutions and its state-of-the-art parallel computational engine. In this session, you will learn how to take advantage of the optimized engine to speed up your simulations and increase your productivity. This training session will treat advanced application examples.

Topics:

Employing and defining dispersive materials and metals
Importing structures from external files
Treating optical coherence and polarization with FDTD Solutions
Exploiting the built-in scripting language for parameter sweeps and design optimization
Reviewing the EM Toolbox functions for performing far-field analyses
Setting up simulations for parallel computation in FDTD Solutions
Q&A: user-supplied examples and questions
