Researchers expand simulation tool to help design the next generation of photonic and ...

Researchers at SUTD and NUS have extended the particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation method to model quantum effects in condensed matter, enabling single-platform simulation of light-electron interactions across entire devices and at nanoscale detail simultaneously. The open-source framework could accelerate design cycles for photonic integrated circuits, optical sensors, lasers, and quantum devices by reducing virtual prototyping time before fabrication.
