Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for analyzing an electromagnetic wave, the apparatus comprising: a structure forming process simulator configured to form an analysis structure of a physical object to be analyzed; a hybrid optical simulator comprising a processor configured to calculate time-independent data and time-dependent data of an electromagnetic field by receiving the analysis structure from the structure forming process simulator, dividing the analysis structure into parts, determining whether a metallic or magnetic material is included in each of the divided parts, and selectively applying a Beam Propagation Method (BPM) or a Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to the divided parts; and a temporary memory configured to store the time-independent data and the time-dependent data output from the hybrid optical simulator as hybrid electric field data, wherein the structure forming process simulator is configured to modify the analysis structure based on the hybrid electric field data stored in a storage device, wherein the hybrid optical simulator comprises: a receiving unit configured to receive the analysis structure; an optical source setting unit configured to set optical source generation based on the analysis structure by setting values of an incident angle, a polarization, a wavelength, and an intensity of light incident on the analysis structure; a BPM simulation unit configured to calculate the time-independent data in the BPM using one or more of the values set by the optical source setting unit; and an FDTD simulation unit configured to calculate the time-dependent data in the FDTD method using one or more of the values set by the optical source setting unit.
