Our new Application Gallery is now available in all tools with the Lumerical 2019a Release. The Application Gallery includes proven design and optimization examples for applications including grating couplers, ring modulators, photonic resonators, CMOS image sensors, and many more. The applications provided enable photonic component designers to take advantage of validated examples, delivered in-product, providing them with a significant head start in their design work. Each ...example in the Application Gallery takes advantage of the latest release features and includes models, schematics and associated scripts that can be modified to design and optimize the ideal component for the designers application, much faster than the traditional start-from-scratch approach. Designers uniquely benefit from the in-product discovery and download of these examples that target typical, key use cases, and are seamlessly delivered to the product via a web-based delivery mechanism.
