Diffract’s interactive electromagnetic optics lab
An interactive instrument for exploring monochromatic electromagnetic fields across optical experiments, with controls for field, phase, energy, and observation.
- For
- Optics students and electromagnetic-field explorers
- Worth noticing
- It evaluates analytical fields locally in a worker, stores complex binary16 textures, and restores the carrier analytically after interpolation.
Field notes
Controls let readers switch among field views, adjust observation position and rendering, and inspect named optical setups. The page distinguishes two-dimensional angular-spectrum calculations from vertically invariant TE models, and notes that some fields are evaluated locally in a worker and stored as complex binary16 textures. It also lists independent checks against Maxwell curl equations, interface continuity, power, and guide transfer length.
