Applications

²ÝÁñÉçÇø OptoDesigner can be used to design PICs for any technology, for a range of industries including telecom, datacom, sensing, and biomedical.

Features

• All angle connectivity to ensure components will stay connected when they need to be
• Easy to design and customize curved elements
  
• Extensive libraries with many primitives and components
• Powerful scripting language to automate all your design tasks
• Unlimited levels of hierarchy, simplifying design reuse
• Define your own PDK or use one of the many available foundry PDKs
• The use of Design Intent to simplify mask data generation. Design Intent ensures that users can design in a single layer (the design intent layer) and that the software generates all the different mask layers needed for actual production
• Technology-agnostic method for defining elements. Ability to port the same design between different technologies
• Powerful add-on simulation modules for mode calculations and propagation calculations
• Import and export to formats such as GDSII and CIF
• Ability to define your own GDS libraries using extensive caching capabilities
• Many interfaces to third-party tools
