Less time setting up simulations. More time designing devices.
We started with VCSELs and now simulate almost any semiconductor device, coupling transport, optical and thermal physics. Describe your study to Flow, our AI agent: it sets up the flow, writes the input files and runs the whole campaign. Local by default, so your IP stays yours.
Three physics. One platform.
Every solver is ready and validated. Use one on its own, or couple them in Flow.
Transport
Aurora, our drift-diffusion solver with quantum corrections: currents, carrier densities and electrical characteristics, validated on photodetectors, CMOS and diodes, and used in VCSELs.
Optical
Four solvers behind one interface: Po.Li.Te VCSEL, our fast full-vector 3D coupled mode theory tool born from our own VCSEL research, a FEM modal solver, FDTD for full-wave time domain, and ray tracing.
Thermal
FEM heat transfer for self-heating, temperature maps and thermal lensing, with temperature fed back to the optical and transport physics.
Wire the physics together.
Drop solvers on a canvas and connect them. A single arrow passes results one way. A double arrow iterates two solvers until they agree. Mix both in the same graph.
Example: a VCSEL
Optical then thermal, one pass.
All three in series.
All three fully self-consistent.
From one sentence to a whole campaign.
The AI agent inside Flow turns your intent into a working flow, runs the campaign and keeps every result ready to explore. Setting up takes seconds, not hours.
- Plans which solvers and couplings your device needs.
- Writes the flow and every input file.
- Runs campaigns and keeps track of every run, so you can explore the results with the integrated tool.
- Runs on a compact language model and a standard consumer graphics card. Nothing leaves your machine.
Your designs never have to leave your hands.
Semiconductor IP is your most valuable asset. Po.Li.Te runs where you decide.
On your machine
The default. Solvers, Flow and the AI agent all run locally, even offline. Your structures and results stay on your hardware.
EU cloud, managed by us
Prefer not to install anything? We host Po.Li.Te for you in the European Union and give you access from anywhere.
Open to your tools
Flow can include external tools as nodes in the same graph, so Po.Li.Te fits the workflow you already have.
From the VCSEL to almost any semiconductor device.
The same physics that made us trusted on VCSELs now covers most of the semiconductor world.
VCSELs and lasers
Modes, polarization, beam quality, thermal rollover and carrier effects in one workflow.
Photodetectors
Carrier transport and optical absorption, from the same structure file.
Power and CMOS
Transport plus self-heating for CMOS, diodes and power devices.
Integrated photonics
FEM modes and FDTD for resonators, waveguides and active structures.
Quantum and cryogenic
Low-temperature transport and thermal problems for quantum technologies.
