VirtualLab rigorous optical simulation
CSEM SA
CSEM is a privately held, R&D center established in 1984 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. From the beginning, CSEM has been committed to both applied and order-related R&D. This bridge function between economics and science is still a core aspect of the company, and CSEM has continuously adapted its research areas to the needs of industry.

Design of micro-/nano-optics like diffusers, beam shapers, splitters, metalenses, resonant waveguide gratings, plasmonics,... Instead of conventional raytracing we trace fields through the optical system, considering phase, polarization, Fresnel effects, diffraction and interference. To make the simulations efficient different rigorous and approximated field solvers can be smoothly combined, which allows the integration of diffractive optical elements in larger (geometric) optical setups.
