Abstract

This project aims to develop a computer program to simulate the electromagnetic fields in the frequency domain in photonic components. The numerical formulation is based on 3D vector finite element method discretized by tetrahedral elements. A mini-cluster of computers should be used to overcome the high computational effort generated by linear system of equations. Thus, we intend to purchase a mini cluster with aid of FAPESP. This scheme will be applied in 3D analyses of micro-to-nano optical couplers, which are currently being designed and analyzed in two dimensions through scalar finite elements method and bio-inspired algorithms.
