During this one-hour session, we will present Po.Li.Te (https://www.politelab.com/), a startup focused on advanced simulation tools for VCSEL design and provide a live technical demonstration of our software platform.
The presentation will begin with a brief overview of the current challenges in VCSEL development.
We will then introduce the core architecture of our software, which integrates optical, thermal, and dynamic solvers within a unified and computationally efficient framework.
The live demo will showcase how to model a VCSEL starting from its geometrical and material parameters, with a focus on:
- full-vectorial optical mode computation
- evaluation of threshold gain and emission wavelength
- analysis of near-field and far-field profiles
- impact of thermal effects on device performance
We will demonstrate how the platform enables fast, predictive simulations on standard desktop hardware, supporting parametric sweeps and design optimization without the need for high-performance computing resources.
The session will conclude with a discussion on industrial applications and current development roadmap.
Participants will have the opportunity to access a free 14-day trial version of the software following the workshop.
