Lumerical Solutions Inc. (Vancouver, BC) has built a thriving company around a software tool that has proven to be a critical component of worldwide R&D on Information and Communication Technologies (ICT SPG Target Area) devices and systems. Their success owes much to the emergence of communication and sensing applications based on sophisticated optical device structures that are fabricated not by lens makers and instrument builders, but rather by advanced lithographic patterning technologies adapted from the microelectronics industry. These structures, sometimes referred to as microphotonic, typically incorporate sculpted materials with characteristic dimensions on the order of hundreds of nanometers, comparable to the wavelength of light they manipulate. The structure-property relation is most often non-intuitive and therefore requires sophisticated simulations.

Lumerical Solutions Inc.（温哥华，不列颠哥伦比亚省）已经建立了一个蓬勃发展的公司围绕一个软件工具，已被证明是一个关键组成部分，全球研发的信息和通信技术（ICT SPG目标领域）的设备和系统。它们的成功在很大程度上归功于基于复杂光学器件结构的通信和传感应用的出现，这些光学器件结构不是由透镜制造商和仪器制造商制造的，而是由从微电子工业改编的先进光刻图案化技术制造的。这些结构，有时被称为微光子，通常包含具有数百纳米量级特征尺寸的雕刻材料，与它们操纵的光的波长相当。结构-性质关系通常是非直观的，因此需要复杂的模拟。
