Reply To: Coherence scanning interferometer signal simulation via Ansys Lumerical

This would be very challenge!

1: FDTD simulates purely coherent light and completely incohrent light. For light source with limited coherence length, some entensive post-processing model should be developed by your self.

2: even though you have developed such a model, the simulation area (2D) or volume would be large, or very large that your computer may not have enough resources.

So please rethink this project with FDTD simulation. If there is a reference paper using this technique please share here and I'd be very interested in such simulations. Thanks!
