Description

Speos

TV and Display System (GPU & Human Vision)

The perceived quality of a TV or display by the end user is a very important criteria for the display/TV manufacturer. Ansys Speos solution in combination with Ansys Lumerical enables designers to optimize the emission properties of the display pixels while considering the effects of illumination, viewing angle and human perception. GPU based optical simulation  has been enable in Ansys Speos to accelerate your development time.

Lumerical

RCWA

Diffractive optical components like diffraction gratings and metalenses are becoming increasingly important for challenging applications like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). Ansys Lumerical's RCWA solver is ideal for efficient and accurate simulation of this type of multilayered, periodic optical device. This demo will offer an introduction to the use of the Ansys Lumerical RCWA solver for optical simulations, including the new user-friendly RCWA graphical user interface.

Zemax

CubeSat (STOP)

CubeSats are a class of nanosatellite that are designed to operate within standardized dimensions of 1U cubes (10 cm x 10cm x 10cm). To design a CubeSat system, a workflow needs to be defined for developing the optical design, opto-mechanically packaging the system, and modeling structural and thermal impacts that the system will experience in orbit. In this demo, learn how the Ansys Zemax software suite can be leveraged to take a CubeSat design through these modelling steps.

Zemax

Cellphone (Lens Design)

Small form-factor camera designs, such as cellphone cameras, are required to meet ever more stringent performance specifications to compete in the field. Laboratory testing typically occurs late in the manufacturing phase where any previous errors in estimates that are found will cause significant schedule delays and cost increases. Simulation can enable customers to find these errors earlier in the process and prevent costly mistakes. To this end, in this demo, learn how the Ansys Zemax suite can be used to streamline the design workflow, from nominal design to optomechanical packaging to structural and thermal optical performance analysis.

Cross Product

AR Headset (Human Vision / RCWA / Dynamic Link)

Innovation is critical to gaining an edge in the development of the next generation Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) devices. Ansys Speos, Ansys Lumerical, and Ansys Zemax offer optical designers the tools they need to efficiently design and simulate the performance of their AR/VR systems, decreasing the time to market and ensuring that system performance meets required standards. In this demo, learn how Ansys Optical tools work together to holistically simulate an AR headset application.

Ansys + Hewlett Packard Labs Case Study

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) Silicon Photonics (SiPh) is one of the technologies that we are working on. To design a ring-resonator-based co-packaged (see image 1) DWDM SiPh chip, it was important to implement a comprehensive and robust design flow with the flexibility to efficiently uncover the best designs while eliminating the need of re-spin.

Unlock first-time-right complex photonic integrated circuits Blog

The capacity and energy efficiency challenges from the growing appetite for high-speed data along with advanced applications such as LIDAR and quantum computing are driving demand for increasingly large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PIC). With an ever-increasing number of components on a single photonic chip, manual techniques focused on the physical layout of components are becoming no longer feasible.
