We are working hard to improve the group's ability to efficiently and accurately produce physical simulations. Currently you can either simulate on your own machine or use the simulation computer located in the suite (Manager - Paolo). Some software has limited licenses, consult the manager of the software of interest for more information.

List of Software[edit]

University Available Software[edit]

Commonly Used Group Software[edit]

  • MS_Office
  • Matlab
  • Silvaco
  • Rsoft-Beamprop (Hui-Wen) - Optical mode calculation (Fund, higher order, eff. index, etc.) and small angle unidirectional waveguide propagation .
  • Fimmwave-Fimmprop (Jock) - Uses Film Mode Matching (FMM) or Finite-Difference Method (FDM) to model 2D modes and propagate them by overlap integrals in 3D.
  • Harold (Jock) - Laser diode simulator.
  • Comsol (Daoxin) - Multi-physics tool with (simultaneous models 2D or 3D optical, thermal, and/or electrical properties of your structure).
  • CAMFR (CAvity Modelling FRamework)
  • SimWindows
  • LabView
  • HFSS
  • Vertical (Keep this within the Bowers/Blumenthal/Coldren Groups)
  • SRIM (for ion implant)
  • PICwave
  • OmniSim

Under Review[edit]

  • PICS3D (Evaluated: Costly and time intensive to learn)

On the Group Simulation Computer[edit]

  • Matlab
  • Comsol (Daoxin) - Multi-physics tool with (simultaneous models 2D or 3D optical, thermal, and/or electrical properties of your structure).
  • Silvaco
  • Mathematica
  • Fimmwave-Fimmprop (Jock) - Uses Film Mode Matching (FMM) or Finite-Difference Method (FDM) to model 2D modes and propagate them by overlap integrals in 3D.
  • HFSS

Home-made code[edit]

  • Epi Design (Yongbo) - Quantum well design including the strain using Finite Difference Method(FDM)
  • multiFilm (Yongbo) - Based on transfer matrix for AR Coating, grating coupler et al..
