Phoebus Optoelectronics LLC

​Phoebus is releasing Generation 2 of its internally developed electromagnetic and optical modeling and design tool Optus EOMD. Optus EOMD is comprehensive electromagnetic modeling, design, and analysis tool for thin-film structures and structures with one-dimensional and two-dimensional periodicity. Optus EOMD is designed to be easy to use for both experienced and novice electromagnetic engineers and students. Optus EOMD provides step-by-step instructions on how to:

 

• Construct complex optical structures

• Perform a variety of scans

• Construct color representation plots and time-animations of:
   

1. Electromagnetic field components

2. Energy density

3. Poynting vector profiles

4. Dispersion curves
    

• Perform scans-of-scans (i.e., analyzing the optical properties of a structure as a chosen structural or material parameter is varied)

 

An extensive materials library is included that includes the optical data for materials commonly used in optical structures; the user also has the ability to import their own data.  Optus EOMD uses a optimized and stabilized rigorous coupled wave algorithm (RCWA).  Users can design any three dimensional structure, including thin film stacks, or any structure that has one or two-dimensional periodicity.  Such structures include a wide variety of commonly used optical filters, Bragg stacks, anti-reflection coating, optical filters, photonic crystals, plasmonic crystals and metamaterials.
