Optical Simulation for Design Innovation
By using COMSOL Multiphysics® for wave and ray optics simulation, engineers and scientists can create and test designs virtually, taking into account all factors that impact optical performance. This streamlines the development process for creating new and better products while reducing costs and the need for experiments and physical prototypes.
Real-World Optics and Photonics Simulation Examples
The COMSOL Multiphysics® software features a consistent user interface, regardless of engineering application and physics phenomena. For simulation in the optics and photonics areas, the Ray Optics Module and Wave Optics Module add specialized functionality, physics interfaces, and part and material libraries for the modeling of your particular design.
