Efficiently coupling light from an optical fiber into a photonic chip remains one of the most critical challenges in photonics.

In the quest to produce crisp, high-resolution images, optical designers often confront a set of imperfections known as aberrations.

Modern vehicles are undergoing a revolution in safety, comfort, and autonomy—all powered by advancements in optical engineering.

The Ansys Optics article provides a comprehensive guide on designing and optimizing edge couplers

This blog explores the theoretical background of optical waveguides and demonstrates how to simulate them using Ansys Lumerical MODE and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) solvers.

Even pedestrians are familiar with how distracting glare from the sun, headlights of oncoming vehicles, or reflections from wet surfaces can be.

Diffraction is a fundamental optical phenomenon that occurs when light interacts with an obstacle or aperture, bending and spreading rather than traveling in a straight line.

Optics, the branch of physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, plays a crucial role in our understanding of the universe.

Diffractive optics are optics based on elements with operation principles which are essentially based on the phenomenon of diffraction of light.
