Design Tools for Photonics

چکیده
Commercial success in the photonics marketplace dictates a full understanding of the product development lifecycle. Underpinning this success is the maximization of performance and minimization of product development time. These can be afforded at an early stage by employing computer design and simulation methodologies, enabling cost-effective and rapid evaluation of component performance prior to manufacture. This is particularly important in the development of photonics components, which tend to be largely dependent on processing and fabrication conditions.

متن کاملZone-plate-array Lithography (zpal)
Nanolithography is the key technology driving technological progress in electronics, photonics, information technology and biotechnology. The tools and techniques used in the semiconductor industry have become too expensive for applications other than high-volume manufacturing. Masks, which are required for each unique design, can cost tens of thousands of dollars per layer. This economic const...
متن کاملAdaptive design of nanoscale dielectric structures for photonics
Using adaptive algorithms, the design of nanoscale dielectric structures for photonic applications is explored. Widths of dielectric layers in a linear array are adjusted to match target responses of optical transmission as a function of energy. Two complementary approaches are discussed. The first approach uses adaptive local random updates and progressively adjusts individual dielectric layer...
