I am trying to design a PIC with MMIs, waveguides and various other structures. I have used BeamProp and FullWave to simulate them individually.
Now, I need to assemble them to make a complete PIC. Which software is best for this purpose? (I need to choose a tool that can create gds file for photonics IC)
ADS, Mentor Graphics, Cadence or any other?
Where can I find some tutorial for these?
Hi Bishal,
May be Phoenix Software's OptoDesigner would be a perfect candidate for your design problem. It is the industry standard for layout design of photonic chips. OptoDesigner supports several foundry PDKs, so you as a designer can choose the technology you want and start your design.
OptoDesigner is not only a layout designer, it also provides several simulation engines that you can use to optimize your design.
You can do sideview simulation (mode solvers, stress analysis, temperature analysis)
You can also perform propagation simulations (BPM, BEP, FDTD)
To learn more, you can contact support for a webdemo. https://www.phoenixbv.com/index.php
