Lumerical Solutions, Inc., a global provider of nanophotonicsdesign software, has released update of 2015b release is a productsFDTD Solutions 8.12, MODE Solutions 7.6, DEVICE 4.6 andINTERCONNECT 5.0.
New photonic component and integrated circuit design andanalysis features in the 2015b release include:
– Improved graphene modeling in FDTD Solutions and MODE Solutionsuses a surface conductivity model combined with a new 2D surfaceprimitive to dramatically reduce simulation time and improvepredictive capabilities
– A one-dimensional traveling wave laser model in INTERCONNECTprovides a self-consistent framework to account for the complexinteractions of semiconductor lasers tightly integrated withphotonic integrated circuits
– New model library management features in INTERCONNECT allow forthe secure generation and sharing of a compact model library whichcontains advanced frequency- and time-domain photonic circuitmodels
– The dataset builder in DEVICE, FDTD Solutions and MODE Solutionsallows designers to define complex structures withspatially-varying material properties, including doping profiles,generated by other software tools, modeling frameworks, and TCADprocess simulators
Along with key new features for photonics designers, the 2015brelease builds on the photonic integrated circuit design featuresdeveloped with PhoeniX Software’s OptoDesigner. Advances in theworkflow between INTERCONNECT and OptoDesigner support backannotation and layout versus schematic (LVS) verification of postlayout, packaging ready designs. The interface enables a flexibleschematic driven or layout driven design methodology and, alongwith accurate coordination of schematic and physical layoutsthrough all stages of design from concept to final tapeout, allowsdesigners to improve design reliability and yield.

MODE Solutions
Comprehensive waveguide design environment for the analysis andoptimization of planar integrated optical waveguides, componentsand fibers
Supporting an eigenmode solver as well as various methods forsimulating guided propagation of optical fields over longdistances, MODE Solutions is an ideal tool for the design, analysisand optimization of guided components. The eigenmode (FDE) solveraccurately calculates the physical properties of guided modes intruly arbitrary waveguide geometries. The 2.5D varFDTD solver inMODE Solutions enables rapid and accurate simulation of planarwaveguide geometries such as SOI tapers and ring resonators,whereas the eigenmode expansion (EME) solver is ideal forsimulating long distance light propagation in waveguide devicessuch as spot-size converters, tapers and Bragg gratings.
When combined with DEVICE, Lumerical’s optoelectronic solver, MODESolutions provides a powerful tool for the design and analysis ofactive components such as high speed optoelectronic modulators.
Along with FDTD Solutions, INTERCONNECT and DEVICE, MODE Solutionsis a key part of Lumerical’s comprehensive photonic design andanalysis tools. All of Lumerical’s solvers provide support for dataimport/export and integration into common EDA tools, enablingcomplete product design flows from component architecture andoptimization to large scale device and system design.
INTERCONNECT:
A photonic integrated circuit design environment for the analysisof integrated optical circuits, silicon photonics and opticalinterconnects
INTERCONNECT is a photonic integrated circuit design environmentthat enables the design, simulation and analysis of photonicintegrated circuits. Complex and large scale optoelectroniccircuits can be easily and reliably designed and analyzed usingcircuit elements within a hierarchical schematic editor.
Both time domain and frequency domain analysis is supported withinINTERCONNECT. Time domain simulation is performed using a data flowsystem simulator, allowing for more flexibility than traditionaldiscrete time or time-driven simulators. Frequency domainsimulation is performed using scattering data analysis to calculatethe overall circuit response. Sophisticated visualization toolsallow for the analysis of circuit behavior including amplitude,phase, group delay and dispersion.
