Introduction to Waveguide Design using FDTD

In this course, learners embark on a comprehensive exploration of waveguide design using Lumerical's Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) tool. Starting with the foundational aspects of Lumerical FDTD, the series intricately maps the journey from understanding the tool's capabilities to hands-on design and simulation. Dive into the specifics of building a silicon waveguide, optimizing simulation settings, and effectively interpreting results. As a capstone, the course juxtaposes the outcomes of FDTD with the Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis (RCWA), offering a comparative lens to validate and appreciate the precision of optical simulations. By the conclusion, participants will be well-equipped to employ Lumerical FDTD in their photonic design endeavors.
