Comparison of Lumerical FDTD and Tidy3D for three-dimensional FDTD simulations of passive silicon photonic components

Zuyang Liu, Joyce K. S. Poon

We benchmark Lumerical FDTD and Tidy3D for 3D simulations of passive silicon photonic components on the SOI platform. Six devices -- including an MMI, directional coupler, waveguid…
