Keynote: Analyzing Optical Systems with Simulation at Carl Zeiss AG
Duration: 26:57
In a keynote talk from COMSOL Day: Microwave & Optics, Manuel Decker of Carl Zeiss AG shares how his organization uses multiphysics simulation to optimize optical system designs. During his presentation, Decker discusses using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to analyze metalenses, waveguides, and optical coherence tomography.
Manuel Decker is a research scientist in the Computational Algorithms group at Carl Zeiss AG, where he focuses on computational imaging and virtual prototyping of optical systems and devices.
