STACK is an ideal solution for the rapid analysis of thin film multilayer stacks such as anti-reflection coatings, filters, OLEDs, and VCSELs. By utilizing analytical methods, STACK is considerably faster than direct simulations of Maxwell’s equations. A wide variety of functions are available to accurately capture interference and microcavity effects under both plane-wave and dipole illumination.

STACK is a solver within Lumerical’s DEVICE Multiphysics Simulation Suite, the world’s first multiphysics suite purpose-built for photonics designers. The DEVICE suite enables designers to accurately model components where the complex interaction of optical, electronic, and thermal phenomena is critical to performance.
