Did you know TracePro Expert can now simulate the optical performance of metasurfaces created using PlanOpSim Raytracing (PRST) files? PRST files are generated using PlanOpSim Meta-Component software.
Metasurfaces are an emerging technology that overcomes the limits of traditional lenses. Metasurfaces are made by arranging tiny structures on a surface. The sizes of the structures are about a few 100 nanometers in width and height. With the right combination of structures, any optical function can be created. This means both lenses and optical components can be made for applications that were not possible before. 1
The new PlanOpSim metasurface simulation in TracePro Expert gives users an exciting new capability for modeling these types of surfaces in the TracePro environment. See a tutorial example on using a PlanOpSim PRST file to create a metasurface in TracePro.
