OptiOmega includes a GPU-based 3D-Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solver, allowing comprehensive simulation and analysis of the photonic devices at a super-fast speed (more than 100x faster than a standard CPU), along with a Vector Finite Difference (VFD) mode solver, which runs on a CPU. The entire OptiOmega workflow is based on the Python programming language, which allows complete flexibility in simulating photonic devices and post-processing of results using available Python libraries.
More information can be found on the OptiOmega product site.
With release 2.0, the FDTD engine’s new CPU support serves as a reliable fallback when a GPU is unavailable or lacks sufficient memory, and enables local design validation before running larger, more expensive simulations on the cloud.
