Metaoptics design from nanostructure to optical system
PlanOpSim provides an integrated suite of software tools for modelling, designing and analysing metaoptics. Design and optimise individual meta-atoms, combine them into functional metaoptical components, and model complete optical systems containing multiple interacting metasurfaces. The suite brings together rigorous electro-magnetic simulation, component-level design and physical-optics system modelling in a single workflow.
One suite, three products – three levels of design, one integrated design workflow
MetaCell™
Design meta-atoms
(nanostructure level)
Design and optimise the individual optical nanostructures that form a metasurface. Explore geometry, materials and illumination conditions using rigorous electromagnetic simulations, and create meta-atom libraries with the phase, amplitude, polarisation and dispersion properties required for your design.
MetaComponent™
Design metaoptical elements
(component level)
Design and optimise the individual optical nanostructures that form a metasurface. Explore geometry, materials and illumination conditions using rigorous electromagnetic simulations, and create meta-atom libraries with the phase, amplitude, polarisation and dispersion properties required for your design.
MetaStack™
Design interacting metaoptical elements
(system level)
Combine multiple metaoptical surfaces and model their interaction and optical propagation. Evaluate complete cascaded systems while retaining the connection to the underlying meta-atom design.
