Introduction
Global Parameters Setup: It teaches you how to define variables (like wavelength or refractive index
- Getting Started: The manual provides a quick start guide for new users, covering the basic steps for creating a new project, defining geometry, and setting up simulations.
- Designing Optical Waveguides: The manual provides a detailed example of designing an optical waveguide, including creating the geometry, defining material properties, and setting up simulations.
- Simulating Photonic Crystals: The manual provides an example of simulating a photonic crystal, including creating the crystal structure, defining material properties, and setting up simulations.
The RSoft CAD Manual is the essential technical guide for the RSoft Photonic Device Tools, specifically for the RSoft CAD Environment, which serves as the core interface for designing and simulating photonic devices like waveguides, gratics, and photonic crystals. What Makes the Manual "Useful"?
This article serves as a comprehensive companion to the official RSoft CAD Manual, breaking down its structure, key commands, scripting capabilities, and troubleshooting workflows.
- Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations
- Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations
- Beam Propagation Method (BPM) simulations
