VPIphotonics

Automated Design of Photonic Integrated Circuits Training Course. From the comfort of your own home, attend a 4-day, intensive online training on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) design and simulations. Each session will be 4 hours long to allow you to keep your work projects going. Small class sizes enable direct access to our experts.

Learn by means of demonstrations and hands-on sessions how to build the simulation setup for your design, set it up and evaluate the performance of your circuit starting from basic components and going up to complex active and passive PICs.

VPIdeviceDesigner is a versatile simulation framework for the analysis and optimization of integrated photonic waveguides, devices, and optical fibers.

This powerful design tool offers a set of full-vectorial finitedifference mode solvers that support widely customizable nonuniform meshing with symmetric and perfectly matched layer absorbing boundaries for simulations of guided modes in straight and bent waveguides and fibers. For simulations of photonic devices, it offers 2D and 3D implementations of the finite-difference frequency-domain beam-propagation method (BPM). VPIdeviceDesigner supports flexible defining of 2D waveguide crosssections and 3D device layouts made of real (dispersive, temperature-dependent, doped, etc) optical materials.

VPItransmissionMaker Optical Systems accelerates the design of new optical transmission systems for shortreach, access, metro and long-haul applications, and allows technology upgrade and component substitution strategies to be developed for existing network plants. It can fully verify link designs to identify cost savings, investigate novel technologies or perform what-if analyses.

VPIphotonics University Program supports photonics research and curriculum at hundreds of universities and research institutes around the world to facilitate the deployment of next-generation optical components, systems and networks. VPIphotonics' award winning software is cited in over 1200 technical conference and journal papers.

VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits provides a focused modeling and simulation environment for experts in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design. It provides advanced libraries for modeling PICs comprising a mixture of hundreds of photonic, optoelectronic, and electrical elements. Circuit-level abstracted models facilitate rapid prototyping of complex large-scale structures independently from the dispersed technology process (Indium Phosphide, Silicon, Silicon Nitride, Polymer).
