Part 2: Zemax - Lumerical: from Nano-Scale to Macro-Scale Optics and Back

In this webinar, we will examine how a combination of Lumerical’s FDTD Solutions and Zemax’s OpticStudio can be used to design ultra-thin optical components (metasurfaces), which are essential for development of high performance wearable optical devices/systems such as virtual and augmented reality. For this application, it is critical to use a combination of electromagnetic field solvers to accurately determine the phase and field profile of the metalens and ray tracing to optimize the desired lens properties. Our guest speaker is Reza Khorasaninejad from Harvard University, one of the leading researchers using planar metalenses for applications in the visible range.

Great presentation! I have a question about the Zemax part. How to you propgate the beam onto the different surfaces. How can you see the beam shape in the Shaded Model ? When I do the same as shown in the video I only get the rays but not the beam shapes on different dummy surfaces. I have loaded the zbf file from Lumerical and have the E field.
