Why Simulate Photonics: A Practical Guide for Engineers
Photonics plays a key role in technologies such as PICs, AR/VR and quantum applications. As systems grow more complex, design becomes harder to predict using analytical methods alone. Simulation helps engineers explore design options and understand key wave‑dependent effects earlier in the process. In this guide, we explain why simulating photonics is essential – and what it enables.

Customer Stories
Who We Have Helped
The speed and accuracy provided by OpticStudio has made us more confident about the full performance of our optomechanical designs. We’ve used Ansys Zemax, for over 15 years. We’re always pleased with the tools they present for helping optical engineers work together effectively.
— Milan Matela, Senior R&D Optical Designer / Meopta-optika s.r.o.
Because Ansys Speos allows us to use our 3D CAD product as an add-on, we can perform a simulation without sacrificing the accuracy. This is one of the key aspects we liked.
— Asami Yonezawa, Senior Specialist - Mazda Craftsmanship Development Group / Mazda Motor Corporation
For the considered application, NCS performs clearly better than currently used surrogate models and therefore we see the potential of NCS for more use-cases.
— Roland Schirrmacher / Bosch
