To accurately evaluate designs of photonic devices, integrated optics, optical waveguides, couplers, fiber optics, and more, engineers need to account for real-world scenarios. The multiphysics capabilities of the COMSOL Multiphysics® software make it possible to simulate how complex phenomena affect optical structures in the real world, including stress-optical, electro-optical, and acousto-optical effects. Moreover, the Wave Optics Module, an add-on to the software platform, includes specialized functionality that helps designers predict and better understand electromagnetic wave propagation and resonance effects in various optical applications.
