New Version: 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:
New Version: 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.
Live Demos: Rapid prototyping with Photonic PDKs
Pluggable toolkit extensions to versatile circuit simulation environment support MPW runs at Fraunhofer HHI, LioniX and SmartPhotonics
Live Demos: Automated design methods for photonic ICs
Layout-aware schematic-driven design with VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits and its seamless interfaces to OptoDesigner by PhoeniX Software and IPKISS by Luceda
VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits integrates with OptoDesigner by PhoeniX Software and IPKISS by Luceda via pluggable toolkit extensions. These interfaces enable the novel layout-aware schematic-driven design of photonic and optoelectronic integrated circuits. This approach greatly simplifies and accelerates the design workflow, providing an automated export of photonic circuit designs into OptoDesigner or IPKISS for layout design finalization and mask generation.
Networking: VPIphotonics at PIC Workshop
4th Workshop on Photonic Integrated Circuits at OFC
The PIC workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 22nd, 2017 from 5:45pm to 8:30pm, i.e. right after the conference and exhibition finish for that day. The workshop takes place in conjunction with OFC at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Room 515A.
With an increasing momentum for photonic integration and last year's PIC workshop attracting over 275 attendees, this year will see the fourth workshop on photonic ICs at OFC. The PIC workshop is unique in the sense that it offers a material-independent one-stop-shop for anyone wanting to get started in photonic integration. The workshop is free of charge, but does require advance registration on the workshop website.
VPIphotonics is sponsoring the workshop. Our experts are looking forward to meet you there!
