PhotonCore – the physics digital twin engine
Physics infrastructure for optical intelligence. PhotonCore is the GPU-native simulation engine powering all three 3DOptix products – from engineering validation to Physical AI data generation – at cloud scale.
Patent-backed · proprietary 3DOptix technology
Cloud-based data generation engine
Native GPU compute on CUDA and NVIDIA OptiX. PhotonCore takes optical and mechanical inputs and produces three classes of engineering output – all from a single simulation run.
CORE
Massive image generation for AI training
Sensor-true image and video datasets at industrial scale for perception AI training pipelines.
Optics + mechanics quality analysis
Optical system validation inside mechanical assemblies – spot diagrams, MTF, stray light, alignment.
Environmental optics effect analysis
Propagation medium effects – atmosphere, fog, rain, scattering – on optical system performance.
What PhotonCore simulates
Built for real optical engineering – not simplified approximations. Nine simulation modes, one engine.
GPU-native OptiX acceleration
NVIDIA OptiX-powered ray tracing at cloud scale. Billions of rays per simulation, distributed across GPU clusters.
Coherent & incoherent analysis
Amplitude and phase tracked per ray – full interference and coherence calculations at real system scale.
Non-sequential ray tracing
Model stray light, scattering, multiple reflections, and complex illumination geometries without ordering constraints.
3D polarization & coatings
Full 3D polarization state tracking. Jones and Mueller matrix propagation through coatings and birefringent elements.
Scattering & stray light
BSDF-based scattering models for surfaces, volumes, and coatings – full stray light analysis for imaging and illumination.
Diffraction & wave propagation
Physical optics propagation for diffraction-limited systems, gratings, and wavefront analysis applications.
Sensor & detector physics
Spectral sensitivity and spatial response modeled explicitly. Quantum efficiency and noise models in active development.
Cloud-native scaling
From browser-side Fast Rays to enterprise multi-GPU cloud runs – the same physics, scaled to your system.
Physical AI data output
Generate sensor-realistic image data by running scene inputs through the complete optical and sensor physics chain.
From interactive design to enterprise-scale simulation
Four deployment layers – from millisecond browser feedback to multi-GPU distributed cluster simulation.
Browser-native ray tracing for real-time interactive design. Millisecond updates as you move elements – immediate feedback without a full simulation.
Cloud GPU simulation for deep analysis – coherent, polarization-aware, scattering, billions of rays. Spot, PSF, MTF, wavefront, irradiance, 3D scene to image.
The PhotonCore GPU engine deployed on your own infrastructure – for enterprise, defense, and air-gapped environments requiring data sovereignty.
Multi-GPU distributed simulation for Physical AI datasets at scale and large enterprise workflows.
