OmniSim Editor

OmniSim is our general purpose editor for integrated photonic components. The OmniSim editor offers a large range of 2D and 3D shapes, along with the possibility to define sub-devices thanks to its hierarchical framework. Combining the OmniSim and CrystalWave editors will allow you to design a very wide range of photonic structures.

Clustered FDTD

Run clustered FDTD calculations on a Windows or Linux cluster.
