Next-gen Electromagnetic Simulation Tool

“It’s amazing how fast the Flexcompute numerical solver runs,” said Cao, the John C. Malone Professor of Applied Physics and Professor of Electrical Engineering and Physics. “Some simulations that we expect would take days to do, it can do in just 30 minutes. This allows us to simulate many different random configurations, different system sizes, and different structural parameters to see whether we can get three-dimensional localization of light.”

“Tidy3D’s integration with Python made learning much easier for me! The documentation was clear, and the library of examples allowed me to learn at my own pace.” - Amberly, graduate student in Professor Evelyn Hu’s research group at Harvard University

Lumotive is a technology startup based in Redmond, Washington. It is a leading developer of optical semiconductors which are changing the rules for LiDAR across a wide range of 3D sensing applications. Their proprietary Light Control Metasurface (LCM™) solid-state beam steering chips are manufactured.

Leading a project to optimize photonic device design, Dr. Sean Sullivan, CTO at memQ Inc., was hampered by slow photonic simulation solutions, which slowed the chip design, fabrication, and testing cycle time. As a startup developing new quantum photonic hardware for long-distance distributed quantum information.

“The Python API and the fast computation speed enabled by the Tidy3D server makes it easier for me to run parameter sweeping and start simulating ideas without the constraint of server time.” - Chaoshen, former member from Professor Evelyn Hu’s research group at Harvard University

“Tidy3D easily manages to set up and run complex simulations in a very short time, which not only makes rapid progress in our work but also inspires us to constantly engage ourselves in innovation.” - Pritam Bangal, PhD student in Prof. Mohammed Elkabbash’s group at the University of Arizona.

“They helped me think a different way about the problem. Looking back, you might feel the solution was rather obvious, but it would have taken me a long time to figure that out myself. It’s always helpful to reach out to Flexcompute’s experts and get their opinion on the matter,” - Tony, graduate student from Professor Marko Lončar’s Lab at Harvard University

“I especially value the flexibility of Tidy3D, which is seamlessly integrated within the Python environment. This means that we are not dependent only on currently implemented features of the software but we can extend the functionality ourselves to whatever suits our needs. I also like that all the data files are transparent and there are no hidden or encoded files which, again, makes it very smooth to work with Tidy3D.” - Dr. Kozon, Photonic design engineer at Pixel Photonics

“Tidy3D has significantly improved our workflow with its exceptionally fast simulation processing times and reliable support team. It is an invaluable tool in our research and development of integrated lasers.” - Dr. Mohsen Rezaei, R&D engineer at FONEX

“The primary advantage of Tidy3D is the incredible speed of the simulations,” Dr. Jack Hu, co-founder of Pumpkinseed, emphasizes. In the fast-paced environment of a biotechnology startup, where projects across multiple disciplines need to converge simultaneously, Tidy3D’s speed is invaluable. It allows the team to rapidly iterate on chip designs, improving device performance while saving time and costs on actual semiconductor manufacturing.

“Since we adopted Tidy3D as our main FDTD simulation tool, we have used it to complete many projects, ranging from micro-LED light extraction optimization to the modeling of silicon photonic components. Our clients have been very satisfied with our ability to quickly explore extended design spaces and simulate large structures with quick turnaround times. Internally, we have been able to streamline our workflows for simulation setup, execution, and result processing and visualization, leading to drastically improved efficiency.” – oeworks
