VirtualLab Fusion 2025.2

VirtualLab Fusion 2025.2 : Advanced Physical Optics Simulation Software

VirtualLab Fusion 2025.2 is the latest release of LightTrans’ industry-leading software for physical optics simulation and design, released in September 2025 . This version introduces new unpolarized source models for realistic LED modeling, enhanced polarization control components, and significant simulation improvements .

Key New Features in 2025.2

New Unpolarized Source Models for LED-like Emission

Two new source types specifically designed for realistic LED emission characteristics :

Source Model Description
Lambertian Radiation Mode Ideal for practical LED simulation with cosine emission pattern
Cos(θ)ⁿ Radiation Mode Adjustable angular distribution via exponent n; simulates from broad Lambertian to narrow highly directional emission curves

Both models intelligently generate orthogonal radial and azimuthal polarization states for accurate unpolarized light output .

New Functional Components

Linear Polarizer

  • Breaks through traditional Jones matrix limitations

  • Maintains accurate performance under non-paraxial illumination (e.g., LED sources)

  • Ensures physically accurate results from near-axis to high-NA applications

  • No need to define media or structural properties

Stop Component

  • New recommended component for defining stops in optical systems

  • Provides faster simulation speed for any obstacle size

  • Accurately simulates diffraction effects from tiny features—capability difficult to achieve with previous methods

  • Enables analysis of microscopic defects on system-level imaging performance

Polarization Control Component (Azimuthal)

  • Allows phase delay between polarization components to vary as a function of position across the field

  • Enables custom polarization shaping beyond standard waveplates

  • New possibilities for complex beam shaping applications relying on modulated polarization

Transverse Beam Splitter

  • Defines macroscopic spatial patterns of reflection and transmission on beam splitting surfaces

  • Load any 2D region as a specific optical area (e.g., central mirror or hole)

  • Assign different reflectance/transmittance values for points inside vs. outside loaded region

  • Models beam splitters with complex features including central obscuration, reflective patches, or off-axis apertures

Improved Simulation Capabilities

Off-Axis Parabolic Mirror Enhancements

  • Now supports definition of negative focal lengths

  • Enables direct configuration of both concave and convex off-axis parabolic mirrors

  • Provides more flexible modeling experience

Extended Surface Channels

  • Diffractive Lens Element: Now supports all four surface channel types (++, +-, -+, –)

  • Enables fully non-sequential use for more complex system modeling

  • Extended to holographic optical elements, functional metalenses, and functional modulated metasurface elements

Batch Mode Enhancements

  • New command option --customSubfolder for specifying custom directories for simulation results

  • Clear separation of log files: preparation steps vs. errors/warnings during processing

  • Simplifies debugging and analysis of automated workflows
