SIMOPTICSProducts, people, and project information

Products & capabilities

SIMOPTICS brings material selection, structure design, and optical-response plots into a browser-based research workspace.

Layered materials

RadPro

Explore thin-film stacks using the transfer-matrix method.

  • Reflectance, transmittance, and emittance spectra
  • Wavelength and incidence-angle sweeps
  • Coherent and mixed-coherence formulations
  • Silicon models with temperature and doping inputs
  • Material optical-property plots and preset cases

Periodic structures · in development

RCWA

A workspace for rigorous coupled-wave analysis of layered gratings.

  • Ridge and groove material selection
  • Period, width, and thickness controls
  • TE and TM polarization
  • Wavenumber and incident-angle studies
  • Editable layer bands and optical-response plots

The RCWA interface is under active development.

Interpreting results

Results depend on the selected optical data, model validity ranges, and numerical settings. Check convergence and compare with reference cases before drawing research or design conclusions.

Reporting a problem

Include the tool name, browser, input settings, and steps to reproduce the issue. Remove confidential information from screenshots and attachments.

Security & data handling

  • Simulation inputs are sent to the application server for calculation.
  • Saved configurations and material selections use your browser’s local storage. RCWA recent runs also use local storage. Clear this site’s browser data to remove locally stored information.
  • Hosting infrastructure may record request metadata, including IP addresses and requested URLs, in operational logs.

Use HTTPS when accessing SIMOPTICS. Do not submit confidential or sensitive information to this research application.
