WaveSim
Ultrafast, Fabrication-Aware Wave Propagation Simulation
From physics-accurate simulation to fabrication-ready design in milliseconds.
WaveSim is a GPU-accelerated simulation engine purpose-built for full-wave, high-fidelity modeling of electromagnetic field propagation in complex optical systems (www.wavesim.org). Wavesim has been initially developed at the University of Twente. Kymatonics and the parent team at LBMI have expanded the use cases and applications to optoacoustics and optical design of photonic components.
Unlike conventional simulation tools that rely on idealized approximations or fail to scale with complexity, WaveSim directly solves the full wave equation across large volumes and high- index materials, ensuring physically accurate results even in highly non-ideal, freeform, or sub- wavelength structures. Powered by domain decomposition techniques and a voxel-native architecture, WaveSim enables unmatched speed and precision, delivering near-real-time feedback for design optimization, tolerance analysis, and fabrication-aware pre-compensation.
At Kymatonics WaveSim is not just a design tool, but a critical bridge between simulation and manufacturing. We offer on-demand, fabrication-aware wave propagation simulations tailored to your optical design and manufacturing challenges. Our team uses WaveSim to model fabrication imperfections, quantify tolerance thresholds, and optimize device geometries with sub- wavelength precision. Whether you are developing metasurfaces, integrated photonic chips, or freeform optical components, we provide accurate, scalable simulations that ensure your designs behave as intended before fabrication begins. Integrate our WaveSim service into your design pipeline, prototyping workflow, or quality assurance process and gain a powerful edge in performance, yield, and innovation.
