GSOLVER

GSolver is intended to be used for design of novel diffractive structures in dielectrics and metals built with semiconductor manufacturing tools, including photolithographic techniques. These techniques imply finite planar feature sizes and indicate a piecewise constant diffraction grating structure. GSolver includes a general purpose Genetic Algorithm (based on Differential Evolution) for finding grating designs that achieve diffraction efficiency goals... GSolver is a rigorous diffraction grating efficiency calculation tool... Grating Solver Development Company was founded in 1994 by Dr. David Fluckiger to provide a diffraction grating analysis tool that would run on a PC. The result was GSolver V1.1. Initially the code was used to design high frequency gratings to provide antireflection surfaces (subwavelength crossed grating) in materials that are difficult to index match. This required full three dimensional vector solutions to the diffraction problem. Since that time the code..
