FEFD Engine Features

Our Finite Element Frequency Domain (FEFD) engine for OmniSim and CrystalWave is a powerful state of the art 2D Maxwell solver for propagation of EM fields within an arbitrary photonic structure. It is the first Frequency Domain calculator capable of solving problems currently only manageable with FDTD methods, but with accuracies and speeds only possible within Frequency Domain approaches. In particular, the OmniSim and CrystalWave FEFD engine is blazingly fast, performing calculations of complex 2D layouts even orders of magnitude faster than any competing tool.
