Programme Content
Participants will gain hands-on experience with the Ansys Lumerical simulation suite, a widely used industry-standard platform for designing and analyzing photonic devices and integrated optical circuits. They will learn how to set up simulations, and analyze optical and electrical behaviour in passive and active photonic components. The workshop will also cover interpreting simulation results, optimizing device performance, learning best practices, and understanding key design trade-offs in integrated photonics. No prior experience with the software is required, although a basic understanding of electromagnetics and optics will be beneficial.
