OptiLUCEDA CoSim is a new co-simulation tool developed by Optiwave in collaboration with Luceda Photonics. This integration enables designers to fully simulate their photonic integrated circuit (PIC)-based products in a unified system environment where they can leverage Luceda's layout and modelling capabilities of the PIC and the system-level simulation features of Optiwave.
No manual translation required. Designers can create their PICs in Luceda IPKISS using either standard PDK building blocks from any of the supported Luceda Design Kits or their custom devices. The layouted PIC is then simulated using Luceda's circuit simulator, while OptiSystem takes care of the lasers, DSPs, fibers, and other system-level components, providing a complete system simulation. By embedding circuits created with Luceda IPKISS directly into the OptiSystem environment, designers can simulate end-to-end links seamlessly, eliminating the need for additional data input.
