FIMMWAVE 8.1.0 Release: MT-FIMMPROP Updates
CBS Inc. is thrilled to announce the latest release of FIMMWAVE 8.1.0 from Photon Design, featuring new enhancements and significant improvements to streamline your photonics design process.
What’s New in FIMMWAVE 8.1.0?
This release introduces substantial upgrades, making FIMMWAVE more efficient and user-friendly:
- Enhanced MT-FIMMPROP Framework – The second release of the MT-FIMMPROP framework includes major improvements, making it much easier to define structures. Several restrictions have been removed, and device references can now be flipped in the Z or X direction, allowing users to leverage symmetries for reduced simulation times.
- Advanced Mask Layer Profiles – Users can now apply tapered or rounded vertical profiles to mask layers in an MT-FIMMPROP device.
- MOLAB Mode Filters – New filters enable waveguide mode selection based on a range of mode properties.
- Redesigned Mode Finder Panel – The updated Mode Finder Panel provides a more intuitive interface, allowing users to view additional mode properties and sort modes based on specific attributes.
- Optimized FEM Solver – The FEM Solver now supports non-zero offsets, tilts, and cross-sections with different dimensions for special complete overlaps, leading to significantly faster simulations with reduced memory usage.
For a complete list of changes, please check the change-log in the FIMMWAVE manual.
