Design and Optimization of Optical Waveguides
Thu, Nov 30, 2023 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
Optical waveguides are important building blocks for many optical devices and systems. Well-known applications range from basic optical fibers to more complex multiphysical components, such as integrated optical modulators and semiconductor optoelectronic devices for telecommunication. Moreover, waveguide devices are widely used for optical sensing and high-quality fiber laser light sources. This webinar shares about modeling optical waveguides using the Wave Optics Module, an add-on to COMSOL Multiphysics®. It covers topics such as the construction of complex waveguide structures using basic waveguide parts, the analysis of mode fields and propagation constants, and the modeling of wave propagation along optical waveguides. A representative from COMSOL introduces multiphysics couplings and shows optimization strategies while also sharing how to build and maintain custom simulation apps based on specific models, for use by colleagues or customers. Presented by COMSOL.

Quantum Efficiency Measurements: Fundamentals for Solar Cell Research, Part 1
Tue, Dec 5, 2023 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
In today’s energy-challenged world, clean energy topics are increasingly important, particularly with solar cell designs reaching new efficiency breakthroughs. This webinar series shares the fundamental measurements for a quantum efficiency system and how they apply to the research and design of a solar cell. Representatives from MKS Newport present an in-depth discussion of internal quantum efficiency (IQE), external quantum efficiency (EQE), and incident photon to charge carrier efficiency (IPCE). They also share a brief overview of clean energy demand, including the photovoltaics forecast and the effect on solar cell design. Specific requirements that are needed to take these measurements are discussed as well as the key challenges researchers run into during experimentation. Finally, they touch on a typical testing process in multiple equipment configurations. Join MKS Newport experts to learn and dig into the world of solar cell design measurements and how to set up a lab for success. Presented by MKS Newport.
