Meet our team at the technical conference and on the exhibition floor @ Booth 54!
VPIphotonics Design Suite™ v10.0 + VPItoolkits™
live demos, overview of new features
New Version: VPItoolkit™ PDK HHI v3.1
Added export of circuit layout to Nazca Design
VPIphotonics announces release of an updated version of VPItoolkit PDK HHI, which supports the InP photonics Process Design Kit (PDK) offered by the Fraunhofer Institute for Telecommunications, Heinrich Hertz Institute, and seamlessly integrates Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) simulation and automated mask layout extraction.
The free and open-source Nazca Design framework developed by BRIGHT Photonics is now fully supported for the generation of verified PICs layouts to be submitted
and processed in terms of Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) runs on the HHI Indium Phosphide technology platform. Similar mask export capabilities with OptoDesigner developed
by PhoeniX Software (part of Synopsys) have already been introduced earlier.
New Version: VPItoolkit™ DSP Library v4.0
Tx- and Rx-side Digital Signal Processing algorithms for coherent optical transmission systems
VPIphotonics announces the release of new version 4.0 of the VPItoolkit DSP Library, a powerful set of digital signal processing algorithms developed by the Photonic Networks and Systems department at Fraunhofer HHI.
New features include:
Workshop on Hybrid PICs (WS05)
Sunday, Sep-22, 14:00 - 17:30, Hall 7
"PDK-enabled layout-aware circuit design and system validation" – presented by A. Richter
Hybrid integrated photonics attracts significant attention, as it enables complete and cost-efficient optical chip solutions for silicon, silicon nitride, and polymer photonics in combination with III-V active optoelectronic devices. We discuss design challenges of hybrid PICs and present a workflow addressing them, which relies on standard simulation compact models and a layout-aware design approach. We demonstrate flexible optoelectronic circuit simulation, optimization and analysis, as well as performance verification on system-level.
Networking: VPIphotonics Get-Together in the Berlin Pavilion
Tuesday, Sep-24, 15:30, Exhibition Floor – Booth 54
We cordially invite you to visit our booth for drinks and snacks!
Hackathon
Tuesday, Sep-24, 16:30 - 18:00, Hibernia Rooms
Meet our simulation experts at ECOC's Hackathon. This year we will present how VPIlabExpert can be a useful tool in automating test and measurement setups for long simulation runs and system optimization. Demodulation of coherent QAM and probabilistically shaped signals will be shown, highlighting how Python-based DSP algorithms can be integrated in a simulation environment.
There will also be plenty of time for mingling and discussion. Light food and drink will be served.
