Getting Started

BeamZ is a differentiable, GPU-accelerated electromagnetic simulation framework for photonic chip designers using the FDTD method. Its engine enables fast, large-scale simulations and offers a familiar, high-level API for fast prototyping with just a few lines of code as well as an inverse design module for gradient-based optimization.
