About This Webinar
The clever design of optical scattering characteristics in nanostructures has become a fundamental building block for breakthrough devices in high-speed telecommunication, biosensors, solar cells, AR/VR, and more. Accurately describing and predicting this behavior calls for full-wave simulations.
The COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation platform together with the add-on Wave Optics Module contains functionality for simulating both single-scatterer and large-scale nanostructures. During the webinar, we will demonstrate how you can easily set up your first simulation model through an example that focuses on single-particle scattering. Next, Joel Vonarburg of the ETH in Zürich, Switzerland, will demonstrate how he integrates our latest surrogate model capabilities into a simulation app that can be used for teaching students about optical scattering. We will then extend the discussion to typical nano-optical structures, such as diffraction gratings, metasurface deflectors, plasmonic structures, photonic crystals, distributed Bragg reflectors, and hyperbolic metamaterials. The presentation will conclude with a Q&A session.
Who should attend:
Research and development scientists, engineers, test & measurement specialists, and consultants who work in aerospace, defense, automotive, consumer, energy, and medical. Those who work with fiber optics, optical components, camera development, detectors and sensors, software, and nanophotonics.
