OptiFDTD Max

The Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method is a widely used technique for modeling electromagnetic effects. Due to the demanding computing requirements needed to accurately render three-dimensional (3D) simulations using this method, engineers have never been able to fully realize large scale simulations in a desktop environment, until now.

Introducing, OptiFDTD MAX. A revolutionary hybrid simulation environment delivering the next generation in robust research and development tools tailored for photonics and bio-photonics engineers. The OptiFDTD MAX workstation is the fastest commercially available simulation environment, rivaling a twenty-node cluster computing network, at a fraction of the cost.

Pre-installed with each OptiFDTD MAX workstation is the award winning OptiFDTD design software. OptiFDTD is a powerful, highly integrated and user-friendly software application that enables the computer-aided design and simulation of advanced photonic, nanophotonic and biophotonic components. Design, analyze and test modern passive and nonlinear components for wave propagation, scattering, reflection, diffraction, polarization and nonlinear phenomena using OptiFDTD.
