App: Measuring the Diffraction Efficiency of a Wire Grating

August 13, 2015

We go over the features of the Plasmonic Wire Grating Analyzer demo app, which you can use as inspiration to build your own apps for more efficient wave optics and photonics simulation.

Should We Model Graphene as a 2D Sheet or Thin 3D Volume?

August 4, 2015

Graphene is a 2D sheet of carbon atoms that is 1 atomic layer thick. However, is graphene actually 2D or is it just incredibly thin, like a very fine piece of paper? How should it be modeled?
