New Version: VPIphotonics Design Suite™ v9.9
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 9.9:
New Version: VPImodeDesigner™ v1.1
Comprehensive Design of Waveguides and Fibers
VPIphotonics announces release of greatly enhanced VPImodeDesigner Version – the powerful software design tool for the analysis and optimization of integrated photonic waveguides and optical fibers.
The new version provides new finite-difference mode solvers, enabling efficient modeling of plasmonic waveguides and accurate treatment of electric field singularities near sharp corners of high-index-contrast and plasmonic waveguides. It offers improved automated calculation of dispersive waveguide and fiber properties for degenerate and highly dispersive modes near cut-off wavelengths, and new advanced field operations with enhanced usability.
Live Demos: Rapid prototyping with foundry-specific photonic PDKs
Pluggable toolkit extensions to versatile circuit simulation environment support MPW runs at Fraunhofer HHI, LioniX and SmartPhotonics
VPIphotonics offers customized library extensions to VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits providing circuit-level support of a Process Design Kit (PDK) for various integrated photonics technologies (Indium Phosphide, Silicon, Silicon Nitride, Polymer) provided for instance by Fraunhofer HHI, SMART Photonics and LioniX International.
VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits integrates with
OptoDesigner by PhoeniX Software and
IPKISS by Luceda via pluggable toolkit extensions.
These interfaces enable the layout-aware schematic-driven design of photonic and optoelectronic integrated circuits allowing to combine
graphical schematic capture and automated waveguide routing.
Networking: VPIphotonics Get-Together
We cordially invite you to visit our booth 4513 for drinks and snacks on March 14th, 3:30pm!
Networking: VPIphotonics at PIC Workshop
5th Workshop on Photonic Integrated Circuits at OFC
The PIC workshop will be held on Wednesday, March 14th, 2018 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 San Diego Convention Center in Room 29ABCD.
With an increasing momentum for photonic integration and last year’s PIC workshop attracting over 378 attendees, this year will see the fifth 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!
Set up an appointment with one of our experts for a customized presentation.
Mon, March 12, 6:00pm-6:30pm, paper M4B.6. (invited)
Abstract: We discuss general requirements and implementation options for an efficient simulation framework supporting the design of SDM systems, as well as aspects regarding the analysis, comparison and optimization of underlying technology and component options.
