New VPI software suite links to Agilent test equipment
VPI has launched a suite of software tools that merge real and virtual photonic component and system prototypes. The tools transfer results from Agilent test and measurement equipment to VPI's simulation software to accurately characterize all of the equipment along the transmission link.
September 2002
VPIsystems new business division.
VPIsystems™ has established a new business division, VPIphotonics™ to advance Photonic Design Automation (PDA) software and solutions for optical component, system and equipment vendors. VPIphotonics will focus the substantial PDA expertise and resources inside VPIsystems on the growing needs of the vendor community. To achieve this, the new division will expand applications relevance from the exchange of virtual prototypes by R&D experts, to widespread use of prototypes, design rules and real world scenarios to support the deployment of photonic equipment in the legacy infrastructure.
