Lumerical Solutions software is a high-performance 3D FDTD Maxwell equation solution application for the design, analysis, and optimization of nanophotonic devices, processes, and materials. By using the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method, Lumerical Solutions solves the most complex photonic development problems. Rapid prototyping and high-fidelity simulation reduce the need for expensive experimental prototypes, enabling faster identification and lower product development and release costs. Lumerical Solutions can dramatically accelerate success in applications ranging from basic photonic research to systems engineering in imaging, lighting, biophotonics, photovoltaics, and more.
