VPIphotonics is pleased to be platinum sponsor and program contributor of this years Photonic Integrated Circuits International - the must-attend conference for the PIC industry.
Visit our stand and hear us speak on 7th – 8th March.
PIC International will provide timely, comprehensive coverage of every important sector within the photonics integrated circuits industry and is the must attend conference for all professionals involved within the integrated photonics industry.
Sales of PICs are soaring, with their deployment helping to boost the capacity of networks and data centres. To aid this industry, we are strengthening the relationships between the makers and the users of these integrated circuits by organising the 2nd PIC International, a global conference dedicated to this industry.
Attendees to the conference will hear industry-leading insiders delivering more than 30 presentations spanning five sectors. The conference will equip the delegates with an up-to-date overview of the status of the PIC industry, and provided them with many opportunities to meet other key players within this community.
PIC International will be co-located with the 7th Compound Semiconductor International Conference and the IoT International Conference.
Abstract: Enabling a fast and convenient workflow for designing integrated photonic and optoelectronic circuits requires design automation approaches supporting the seamless integration of circuit-level photonic and electronic simulators, as well as circuit simulators and layout design tools. Here, we demonstrate our advances in developing one of the most promising layout-aware schematic-driven design methodology by means of examples for various integrated photonics applications based on InP, silicon, silicon nitride, and polymer technologies. Further, we present practical integration scenarios of photonic and electronic design automation tools helping to increase the productivity of designers.
VPIphotonics and PhoeniX Software integrate solutions to enable rapid layout-aware circuit design of ASPICs
VPIphotonics and PhoeniX Software in cooperation with LioniX International teamed up to develop a photonics Process Design Kit (PDK)
supporting the seamless integration of circuit simulation and layout design of application-specific photonic integrated circuits (ASPICs)
to be processed on LioniX Internationals TriPleX technology platform.
VPItoolkit PDK LioniX represents a new pluggable library extension to VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits providing circuit-level simulation support of the PDK building blocks for the integrated optical waveguide technology TriPleX by LioniX International.
Tool integration for photonic circuit simulation and layout design between VPIphotonics and Luceda Photonics
Driven by customer demands, especially with focus on Silicon Photonics, VPIphotonics and Luceda Photonics teamed up to develop
means for automated export of photonic circuit designs from
VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits to IPKISS.eda for layout design and
mask generation.
The interface was developed with special attention to high flexibility and easy customization, thus allowing fast implementation of fab-specific IPKISS-based photonic Process Design Kits on circuit and layout design levels.
Interested users of VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits or IPKISS.eda can approach VPIphotonics or Luceda Photonics teams for more information and live demonstrations of this new functionality.
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.
