Even though James Clerk Maxwell derived his famous set of equations around the year 1865, solving them to accurately predict the behaviour of light remains a challenge. In the design of photonic integrated circuits, which are used as chemical or biological sensors and as chips for fiber-optic communication systems, simulation of light on a micro-scale is of utmost importance. However, the complexity of modern devices is such that full, direct simulation is impossible – hence there is a need for smart algorithms and smart design tools.
