Publication number: 20260186295
Abstract: A method comprises simulating rays deterministically, monitoring the intensity of the rays as they undergo ray splitting, dynamically switching from deterministic simulation to stochastic simulation when the ray intensity declines to a specified threshold, continuing the stochastic simulation to model interference effects up to the specified threshold, and outputting a simulation result that provides an enhanced representation of light propagation within the waveguide that is based on both the deterministic simulation and the stochastic simulation. Systems and methods are disclosed.
