Design of hybrid Photonic Integrated Circuits combining functions in Indium Phosphide and Silicon Nitride technology
LioniX International team with its software partners VPIphotonics and Phoenix Software demonstrates how through access to
an open Process Design Kit (PDK) hybrid technology PICs, such as a tunable ultra narrow linewidth laser module, can be created. Highlights are presented of how
VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits extended by VPItoolkit PDK LioniX is used for circuit-level
simulation, parameter optimization and tolerance analysis of multi-technology PICs.
The product presentation takes place on Tue 30 Jan 2018, 3pm to 3:30pm in Hall D North (Demo Area 2), and is given by Douwe Geuzebroek (LioniX International).
Design flow for elaborating modern and next generation Opto-Electronics & Photonic Integrated Circuits
VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits is a simulation and design environment for photonic integrated circuits (PICs).
It provides advanced device libraries integrated with a scalable time-and-frequency-domain
simulation framework for fast and accurate modeling of large-scale PICs with a mix of
photonic, electrical and optoelectronic devices.
Analysis and optimization of straight anisotropic and bent isotropic optical
waveguides and related devices
VPImodeDesigner supports the analysis and optimization
of integrated photonic waveguides and related devices. It implements fullvectorial
and semi-vectorial finite-difference mode solvers with support of widely
customizable non-uniform meshing and perfectly matched layer absorbing
boundaries. Full integration with VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits
allows translating waveguide cross-section definitions into model parameters of
passive and active devices.

Poster Session, Paper 10536-78 – Wed 31 Jan 2018, 6pm to 8pm
A. Polatynski, A. Richter, S. Mingaleev, E. Sokolov (VPIphotonics)Abstract: We report about our recent work performed in the PolyPhotonics Berlin consortium, which targets to establish a new versatile integration platform combining polymer with Indium-Phosphide and thin-film filter based technologies for numerous photonics applications in the global communications and sensing market. We present our methodologies for modelling and prototyping optical elements including hybrid coupling techniques, and compare them with exemplary characterization data obtained from measurements of fabricated devices. We demonstrate how the seamless integration between photonic circuit and layout design enables the rapid and reliable virtual prototyping of complex photonic components and integrated circuits.
Poster Session, Paper 10560-29 – Wed 31 Jan 2018, 6pm to 8pm
D. Khomchenko, D. Yevseyenko, J. Farina, A. Richter (VPIphotonics)Abstract: We demonstrate an algorithmic approach that offers an efficient way of assigning wavelengths and add/drop equipment. It permits for building the cost-optimized design of optical networks taking into account available (R)OADMs and transceivers, traffic demand characteristics, network topology and engineering constraints. Methods for selecting and provisioning add/drop equipment are employed. Our approach is flexible enough to accommodate optical network topologies of different types and provide add/drop equipment configuration for either a newly designed WDM network or networks being upgraded to accommodate traffic demand growth. The result is a cost-optimized configuration with effective wavelength utilization
