Lumerical Hosts Online Photonic Inverse Design Challenges
Summary
I think it will be close, but I also think that participants at Lumerical Online Tech Day will see an impressive feat of photonic design. “The addition of inverse design methods to Lumerical’s products has been a game changer for our photonics design efforts – they have enabled better performance and much faster optimization of grating couplers and other complex photonic components, than with traditional sweeps and particle swarm optimizations,” said Michael Moebius, Senior Member of the Technical Staff at Draper. The Python based open source PID implementation is packaged together with Lumerical FDTD for ease of deployment. To help new users get started with PID, examples are included in Lumerical’s application gallery to speed designers’ time to implementation. Lumerical enables its customers to achieve more with light and establish a leading position in the development of transformative technologies employing photonics.
