VPIphotonics Design Suite™ v9.8
Design Photonic Components and Compare Transmission Technologies
VPIphotonics Design Suite accelerates the design of new photonic systems and subsystems for short-range, access, metro and long-haul optical transmission systems. Further, it supports assessment of technology upgrade and component substitution strategies that are to be developed for existing fiber plants. Highlights supported by the new version 9.8:
VPIlinkConfigurator™ v4.0
Comprehensive optical link engineering including automatic equipment placement and configuration, and system performance assessment
The new VPIlinkConfigurator v4.0 supports equipment configuration of complex networks including ROADMs and detailed performance calculation of true ring topologies. A powerful API enables interfacing with third-party software such as common office applications and databases in addition to custom applications. Using this automation approach, network topologies, channel plans, etc. can be extracted from other applications. Similarly, the results of the design, including equipment configuration and detailed performance, can be supplied to other applications to generate BOMs and other reports. Version 4.0 provides improves network design workflow and new built-in functionality that simplifies and accelerates design process.
Lab Automation Hackathon
Sunday, 17th September, 19:30 - 22:00
Lab work is most efficient when data can be acquired in an automated way. Especially when taking measurements over long durations automated acquisition avoids introducing human error and allows researchers to concentrate on the fun part of experimental work. Open source software in easy to learn languages such as Python provides just as much, or more features/interoperability for lab automation than alternative commercial software. In this hackathon several researchers with 10+ years experience of lab automation will show you the power of using Python to quickly get a lab experiment running and display the measurements in a browser.
VPIphotonics will demonstrate the development of our VPImodeDesigner - a user-friendly object-oriented Python interface, delivered through an interactive IPython Notebook
environment, based on the Jupyter Notebook web application. This allows to combine interactive simulation scripts together with the simulation results, figures, problem
description and mathematical equations.
Bring a laptop to participate in the exercise. There will also be plenty of time for mingling and discussion. Light food and drinks will be served.

Wed 15:30 - 17:00, P2.SC6.33
Abstract: We show how the correlation of Kerr-induced nonlinear interference noise affects the performance of Low-Density Parity Check codes, and present a simple analytical method predicting this correlation enabling optimized digital carrier phase recovery for mitigation.
