Optoelectronics sits at the intersection of optics and electronics, encompassing devices that source, detect, and control light. From the laser diodes in fiber-optic networks to the photodetectors in smartphone cameras, photonic components are the backbone of modern information technology, sensing, and energy harvesting.
These simulations let you explore photodetector responsivity under varying illumination, drive laser diodes through threshold to stimulated emission, modulate optical signals with electro-optic effects, design dielectric waveguides by tuning refractive indices, and switch light paths in photonic circuits — all with physically accurate models and real-time animated canvases.
