Thermally coupled Wave Optics 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.

Comsol offers the capability to develop multi-physics modeling based on wave propagation (wave optics); it also provides the possibility to define a GUI to make it a stand-alone software tool as a support for the Medical/Optical designer. An example of such a model is described in the reference about a Mach-Zender modulator where heat effects could be included and evaluated.
Modeling software Comsol Multiphysics
File format input Solidworks/Parasolid 3D CAD model or 2D sketch
