Typical applications are speech/sound analysis and. You can expand the capabilities of simulation throughout your team, organization, classroom, or customer or vendor base by building and using simulation applications. WaveSurfer is an open source tool for sound visualization and manipulation.

Enable your team to run their own design analyses without further assistance.

Use the COMSOLВ Serverв„ў or COMSOLВ Compilerв„ў products to make them accessible to other team members.

Customize the application to your needs by selecting inputs and outputs for the application's users.

Transform your wave optics model into a specialized user interface (an application).

You can use applications to run your own tests more quickly or distribute applications to other members of your team to run their own tests, further freeing up your time and resources. With applications, you can easily change a design parameter, such as wavelength in a component, and test it as many times as you need without having to rerun the entire simulation. With the Application Builder, you can build simulation applications, that further simplify the simulation workflow by enabling you to restrict the inputs and control the outputs of your model so that your colleagues can run their own analyses. Think of the time and energy you would be able to devote to new projects if you did not have to run repetitious simulation tests for others on your team. With the multiphysics modeling capabilities of the COMSOL В® software, you can study how other physics affect optical structures for instance, laser heating, carrier transport in semiconductors, and stress-optical effects. In order to optimize designs for photonic devices, integrated optics, optical waveguides, couplers, fiber optics, and more, you need to account for real-world scenarios. The material library includes dispersion relations for the refractive indices of more than 1400 materials, including a large number of glasses used for lenses, semiconductor materials, and in other areas. There are features available for modeling optical systems, such as domain polarization, which is useful for nonlinear wave propagation.

The Wave Optics Module includes a specialized beam envelope method that can be used to simulate optically large devices with far fewer computational resources than traditional methods. The Wave Optics Module, an add-on to the COMSOLВ Multiphysics В® platform software, is an efficient choice for your optical modeling needs. However, traditional simulation methods for optically large structures, where the geometry is much larger than the electromagnetic wavelength, can be computationally expensive and time consuming.

Simulation can be used to validate optical system designs with experimental data and theory.
