The trend towards microscopic and nanoscopic scales requires simulation tools based on wave optics.
Our research works use simulation softwares ranging from ray tracing :
- Code V,
- LightTools
- Zeemax
to softwares based on rigorous vectorial methods such as
- the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD),
- the Finite Elements Methods (FEM),
- the Radiation Spectrum Method (RSM),
- the generalized Mie theory.
We focus our efforts specifically on the interaction between an optical beam and subwavelength stuctures. To do so, we develop dedicated simulation tools. We study of that way components that can be used inside measurement systems for medical applications or can be used for the control of process in photonics.
