Alliances

MIRTHE
VPIphotonics partners with European research and industry in frame of the ICT project MIRTHE. The FP7 project targets new multilevel-modulation all-monolithic integrated TX and RX Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) able to achieve 100-400 Gb/s aggregated speed on a single wavelength. Joint work is performed by an international consortium of six partners (III-V Lab, FhG-HHI, u2t, Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs, Universidad de Malaga) with well known background and know-how in the optical communications field.

FTTX-PLAN
VPIphotonics joins forces with research and industry to form FTTX-PLAN consortium. Starting with a two year project (co-financed by the German Federal Ministry of Eduction and Research, BMBF) the consortium targets the development of new methods and tools for the planning and optimization of optical broadband access networks. FTTX-PLAN partners comprise atesio, FhG-HHI, and ZIB.

Acreo
VPIphotonics and Acreo announce renewed partnership in photonics numerical modelling and component characterization. Acreo will provide key competence in the field of photonics to support the further development of the simulation software VPItransmissionMaker, and to extend the VPI Photonics Curriculum. VPIphotonics and Acreo's partnership started in 2004 and has resulted in the modelling of optical components based on both analytical models and laboratory measurements.

100GET
VPIphotonics partners in the CELTIC initiative 100GET project, which brings together Industry and University to develop high-performance and cost-effective solutions for 100-Gigabit Ethernet Networks.
Partners in 100GET are ADVA, Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Nokia-Siemens Networks, other partners from industry, research institutes and universities.

Eibone
VPIphotonics partners with research and industry in the EIBONE (Efficient Integrated Backbone) project. Goal of the project (co-financed by the German ministry for Research and Development) is to define the standards for robust and efficient Next-Generation Networks (NGN). Partners in Eibone are T-Systems, Alcatel, Lucent, Siemens, Marconi, CoreOptics, FhG-HHI, Adaptiv, u2t, universities and others.

Berlin Access
VPIphotonics partners with research and industry in the BERLIN-ACCESS project. Goal of the project (co-financed by the Zukunftsfonds Berlin) is to develop cost-effective architecure and component solutions for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks. The consortium partners are FhG-HHI, FOC, MergeOptics, Elbau, Berliner Glas, and AVM.

Agilent Technologies
Agilent and VPIphotonics are bridging the gap between HF and optics to provide powerful simulation capabilities for high speed analog circuits, with an interface between VPItransmissionMaker and Agilent's Advanced Design System. More details...

Matlab
Co-simulation features in VPIphotonics products support live interaction between models built in Matlab code and all optical and electrical signal models. Extensive examples and manuals are provided.
