LIGENTEC | Manufacturing | 80 | $20M | Switzerland | Ansys Inc. | Ansys Lumerical FDTD | Optical Simulation and Design | 2023 | n/a |
In 2023 LIGENTEC used Ansys Lumerical FDTD to apply Photonic Inverse Design capabilities for a focused R&D effort in Europe to optimize a compact waveguide crossing. The engagement was centered in the company research and development organization and targeted device-level layout and performance improvements for foundry deliverables.
Ansys Lumerical FDTD was configured to run inverse-design optimization loops coupled with full-wave FDTD simulation, emphasizing footprint minimization while constraining optical loss. The implementation included script-driven workflows for automated parameter sweeps and constraint enforcement, producing design variants evaluated for insertion loss and manufacturability.
The project produced script-based GDS export to generate foundry-ready layouts, enabling a direct design-to-mask handoff and tighter integration with fabrication process requirements. Operational coverage stayed within photonic design and process engineering functions, with the workflow enabling iterative co-design for design rules and process-variation robustness.
Results delivered included roughly a 4× reduction in crossing footprint while keeping insertion loss near 0.02 dB per crossing, and documented improvements in manufacturability and robustness to process variation. Governance focused on design rule automation and scripted export for layout transfer, embedding the Ansys Lumerical FDTD Photonic Inverse Design workflows into LIGENTECs R&D release cycle.

Lumotive | Manufacturing | 80 | $9M | United States | Ansys Inc. | Ansys Lumerical FDTD | Optical Simulation and Design | 2024 | n/a |
In 2024 Lumotive deployed Ansys Lumerical FDTD to design and validate liquid-crystal metasurface beam-steering optics for lidar, Apps Category: . The work was R&D and engineering focused and conducted in the United States, centered on nanoscale electromagnetic modeling of metasurface elements and system-level optical steering behavior.
Ansys Lumerical FDTD was operated on AWS HPC to enable high-throughput finite-difference time-domain simulation runs, parameter sweeps, and iterative geometry optimization. The implementation emphasized physics-accurate nanoscale modeling, automated batch simulation workflows, and faster model turnaround to support rapid design iteration cycles.
Operational coverage remained within Lumotive R&D and engineering teams, integrating cloud-based compute resources to scale simulation concurrency and reduce wall-clock time for validation runs. The project delivered a reported 2 to 3 orders of magnitude faster design cycle and much faster simulation turnaround, which supported timely product delivery and accelerated iteration on beam-steering designs.

Xanadu Canada | Manufacturing | 220 | $82M | Canada | Ansys Inc. | Ansys Lumerical FDTD | Optical Simulation and Design | 2024 | n/a |
In 2024, Xanadu Canada deployed Ansys Lumerical FDTD to support quantum photonics research and design for its X8 quantum photonic chip. Xanadu Canada implemented Ansys Lumerical FDTD in the category to run scalable finite-difference time-domain simulations on cloud accelerators, explicitly targeting low-loss component optimization and faster iteration across design variants.
The implementation emphasized high-fidelity FDTD solves and automated parameter sweep orchestration to explore modal and propagation geometries, with batch job orchestration to scale simulation campaigns on cloud accelerators. Ansys Lumerical FDTD was configured as the primary electromagnetic simulation engine in the R&D toolchain, with simulation templates and run profiles standardized to improve reproducibility across engineering teams.
Operational coverage focused on engineering and R&D groups based in Canada, and simulation outputs were integrated into design review workflows and validation checkpoints. Governance introduced standardized simulation parameter templates and formal validation gates to ensure consistent measurement of insertion loss during design iterations. Outcomes reported by Xanadu included a greater than 15% reduction in insertion loss and a significantly accelerated design schedule, reflecting the impact of Ansys Lumerical FDTD on engineering R&D workflows.
