PlanOpSim

Did you know we have a full Wiki integrated in our software that documents features, workflows, scientific concepts, etc. ? We recently released the API framework (see first comment for release note) You can find a showcase of one our latest features the API explained in full in the Wiki as demonstrated below. Even more curious or in need of even more documentation, etc. ? Contact us via support@planopsim.com We are always eager to assist ! 

Last week we were part of the Optical Design Summit organized and hosted by Photonics Spectra ! Very practical and pragmatic sessions for future and current experts in Optical Design. If Optical Design is your topic of interest, triggers your curiosity and you want to see a great number of speakers on different topics such as : Coatings, Meta Optics, Software, Workflows, etc Meta-Surface Design : How to Catch the Next Wave in Optics with Lieven Penninck and many more interesting talks Still available via on demand for a few weeks ( see first link in the comments ) #innovation #nanophotonics #metaoptics #optics

Great interview with Jose Pozo & our founder Lieven Penninck about entrepreneurship, creativity, critical thinking, AI, metamaterials, design and the road ahead. A few quotes to get you thinking: " dr Penninck isn’t worried AI will replace designers. Rather, he believes AI will become a very powerful tool in the hands of skilled designer ... the parameters that must be in play and the instinct that only comes with an experienced optical designer. The designers’ honed instinct to change a parameter or influence lenses—will remain critical because of the huge design space in scientific and engineering investigation and discovery. " " Take the leap ... the biggest, hardest part of starting a company is making the jump. Before you do it, it’s scary and there are reasons not to. But once you’ve jumped, you figure out a way to start swimming. It may seem uncertain at first, but you will never run out of ideas, possibilities, and things to improve.  "

Conference Paper available from PlanOpSim SPIE Photonics West 2024! Simulation methods for large-area meta-surfaces: comparison local periodic, overlapping domains, and full wave calculations " Overlapping domain analysis (ODA) has been proposed to improve the accuracy of simulation by accounting for neighboring meta-atoms without requiring full wave calculation of the entire area at once " Accessible via SPIE digital library OR via link ( see comments) #innovation #metaoptics #fullwavevslocalperiodbattle

SPEED is the name of the game in any race for capturing value from innovation. Although quite often more indirectly than directly. We have increased the simulation speed significantly the latest couple of months for our software. Here are a few data reference points : 1000 sweep point simulation 370 seconds  With low accuracy simulations 4,4 times faster ( 4 by 4 or less ) ! With high accuracy simulation 7,5 times faster ( 12 by 12 ) ! This perfectly aligns with our vision to allow quick simulation for (large area) Meta Optics. And something that started long ago https://lnkd.in/eNtWvu5Y Check out our founder Lieven Penninck talk today during SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics Photonics Europe " Local full wave methods for accurate modelling of large area meta-surfaces " 10 April 2024 • 16:00 - 16:30 CEST | Stuttgart/Salon 15, Niveau/Level 1 ( Link with detailed info in the second comment ) Curious to see this simulation SPEED live ? Just register for a trial, the technical and scientific support you'll get during the trial will be an even nicer surprise #innovation #metaopics #simulation #nanophotonics #speed

What a productive late couple of weeks it has been at PlanOpSim :)  When productivity meets innovation it is as good as gold ! One of the most requested features for our software has been made available thanks to the relentless effort of our team : " Advanced usage/Scripting interface to PlanOpSim with API " This has a multitude of benefits for all our users: 1. Automation 2. Bulk simulations via script 3. Plug and play to other software or tools for analysis or piping results Contact our team for questions, remarks and suggestions to even further improve this flow. See first comment for contact details ! #innovation #nanophotonics #software #integration #metaoptics

Lieven Penninck will be representing PlanOpSim SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics SPIE Photonics Europe in Strasbourg from 7 till 11/04 2024. Beam him up for a breakfast, lunch, dinner or booth visit. Booth number 206 ! Link to book something in his diary in the first comment to get one on one time on how meta optics could improve your application. As per usual, there will be something juicy technical being presented as well by our team: " Local full wave methods for accurate modelling of large area meta-surfaces " 10 April 2024 • 16:00 - 16:30 CEST | Stuttgart/Salon 15, Niveau/Level 1 ( Link with detailed info in the second comment ) Made possible with Bavo Robben Chris Beckerleg & Harshal Mandlekar
