For a variety of modern optical systems, characterization and simulations using wave optical propagation algorithms is crucial. The selection of an appropriate method regarding numerical complexity, performance, and accuracy plays a fundamental role. As part of this internship or thesis, various algorithms for relevant application examples, such as optical waveguides or printed micro-optic components, will be investigated and quantitatively compared. This collaboration project with ZEISS Corporate Research and Technology provides insights into a highly dynamic R&D environment with many exciting research fields.
