VIRTUAL LAB SIMULATION LIBRARY
Explore a library of interactive web simulations that help you build intuition for photonic integrated circuit (PIC) component design
These browser-based tools allow you to explore the properties of optical circuit components as a first step in understanding the fundamentals of integrated photonics. Build an intuitive understanding for guided waveguide modes, mode coupling, and resonant cavities by adjusting key parameters for each circuit component.
If you have difficulties loading the simulations, you may need to update your browser or try accessing the tools in a different browser.
