The Future of Optics
Lumerical envisions a future where microscale optical devices are pervasive.
Made possible by the continued emergence of low-cost manufacturing techniques able to reliably create
high-performance micro/nanoscale optical devices in large volumes, optics will be recognized as an enabling
technology that
intimately impacts many facets of life - through entertainment, medical discovery,
communications, information storage, and manufacturing.
Realizing such microscale optical devices comes with challenges. Foremost, not many design tools
are capable of
accurately predicting micro/nanoscale device performance as traditional approaches are inaccurate
at these extremely small sizes.
Thankfully, the availability of powerful computing technologies has rendered highly-accurate
device simulation that addresses micro/nanoscale feature sizes feasible. Indeed, virtual prototyping
- prototyping via
rigorous computer-aided design
and simulation of device performance - now allows organizations to rapidly
and cost-effectively investigate new product concepts.
What Lumerical Does
Since its inception in 2003, Lumerical has pioneered breakthrough
simulation technologies that help bring new optical product concepts to life.
From the first 3D computer-aided design environment aimed at microscale and nanoscale optics,
to the most robust parallel computation tool for microscale optics available today,
Lumerical empowers their academic, government research lab
and FORTUNE Global 500 customers with
best-in-class solutions to innovate across the biomedical, display technology, communication,
optical storage, semiconductor manufacturing and solid-state lighting industries.
How Lumerical is Different
By listening closely to their customers and collaborators, Lumerical remains at the forefront in
addressing the emerging needs of the optical design community. This customer-centric development
has enabled Lumerical to create high-impact optical simulation tools that facilitate the
realization of next-generation optical, photonic, and electromagnetic technologies.
Lumerical's relentless efforts to develop extremely usable simulation technologies
allows their diverse customers to quickly explore new product concepts. And Lumerical's focus on
highly-accurate simulation techniques allows their customers to produce product prototypes
that work as expected - the first time they are manufactured.
Most importantly, Lumerical serves as a reliable, long-standing R&D partner to compliment
their customers' on-going product development efforts.
A passion for helping their customers meet deadlines and realize their goals makes Lumerical's technical
support the best in the industry, and has rendered Lumerical the partner of choice when a new design
challenge must be overcome.
