Finite Element Analysis (FEA) plays a crucial role in optimizing the integration of photonic crystal (PhC) sensors with silicon photonics. This integration is fundamental for advancing optical sensing technologies used in biomedical applications, environmental monitoring, and high-speed optical communication. Photonic crystals, with their periodic dielectric structures, exhibit unique light-manipulation properties, such as photonic bandgaps, that […]
Photonic crystals (PhCs) are periodic dielectric structures that affect the motion of photons in much the same way that the periodic potential in a semiconductor crystal affects electrons. The ability of photonic crystals to create photonic band gaps (PBGs) has led to numerous applications, including optical filters, waveguides, and more recently, sensors. Among the various […]
Optical simulations play a crucial role in designing photonic devices, waveguides, laser systems, and other light-based technologies. Whether you’re developing a photonic crystal biosensor or optimizing a fiber optic communication system, simulations allow you to predict how light interacts with materials—before committing to expensive prototyping. One of the most powerful tools for optical simulations is […]
