Produce Optimal Photonic Design Structures with Ease

Explore complicated photonic structures using RSoft MOST to quickly surface design solutions that satisfy specific product and financial requirements. MOST, which stands for multi-variable optimization and scanning tool, provides extensive optimization algorithms that automate analysis across a wide range of customizable parameters, making the design process more efficient and effective.

  • Rapidly scan and optimize photonic devices with minimal user interaction.
  • Eliminate tedious work to accelerate critical operations including design definition, calculation, and analysis.

Key Features of RSoft MOST

RSoft product integration

MOST’s parameter scanning and optimization capabilities are fully integrated with the RSoft CAD Environment, as well as all RSoft simulation tools.

Flexible environment

A highly flexible environment lets data produced with an arbitrary number of parameters by any RSoft tool serve as the scan or optimization target.

Robust automation

Automatically generate line, contour, 3D volume plots, and data-sliced plots. Track optimization performance with real-time convergence plots.

Optimization algorithms

MOST includes numerous single- and multi-dimensional optimization algorithms such as root-finders, minimizers, simplex search routines, and genetic algorithms.

Extensible tool

A simple, flexible application programming interface lets you add custom algorithms with your own C++ DLLs (dynamic link libraries) or Python modules.

Customizable data displays

Access full data sets of any scanned quantity within RSoft’s customized DataBROWSER environment. Instantly reprocess data in different plot styles.

RSoft MOST – FAQ

RSoft MOST or Multi-Variable Optimization and Scanning Tool automates definition, calculation, and analysis of photonic device parameter analysis and optimization. Apply MOST’s optimization algorithms across a wide range of customizable parameters to streamline the design process and quickly find your desired design solution. Fully integrated with the RSoft CAD Environment, MOST provides optimization algorithms that allow optical engineers to explore systems which are highly complicated and have either a local or broad parameter space.

MOST can apply to situations such as:

  • Parameter scans over any design parameter in any number of dimensions
  • Single and multiple variable local and global automated optimization
  • Global optimization by genetic algorithm
  • Automated distributed computation of scans and some optimizations (requires suitable license)

MOST provides a highly flexible scanning and optimization environment. With generalized measurements, your team can easily target any data produced during simulation. For example, scanning modal effective indices calculated with BeamPROP is identical to scanning diffraction efficiencies calculated with DiffractMOD. You can scan vector and matrix quantities such as reflection spectra or modal profiles just as easily, letting you target any quantity produced by any RSoft tool.
