Interview
Integrated photonics design success is built on a software foundation
PIC Magazine spoke with Luceda Photonics to explore what sets the company’s approach to design automation apart from other software being used to create next-generation photonic integrated circuits (PICs). What began as a collaborative effort between Ghent University and imec researchers to support the design of large IC masks in 2002 has expanded to become a global system to speed PIC design cycle times, eliminate errors and simulate performance without costly prototyping.
