VPIphotonics release of Design Suite version 9.7

News
New features include modelling and usability enhancements

VPIphotonics, a specialist in optical transmission system and component design software, announced the release of VPIphotonics Design Suite Version 9.7, which includes the following simulation and analysis tools:

  • VPItransmissionMaker Optical Systems
  • VPIlabExpert
  • VPIcomponentMaker Fiber Optics
  • VPIcomponentMaker Photonic Circuits
  • VPIplayer  

Especially noteworthy are modelling and usability enhancements for the design of modern transmission systems. Applications ranging from low-cost and high speed direct-detection to high-capacity and flexible digital coherent are supported. Important new capabilities include:

  • Generation and detection of arbitrary N-dimensional modulation formats, spanning over IQ, XY, time, frequency, fiber modes and cores, and others
  • Analysis of N-dimensional modulated signals including bit and symbol error rate (BER, SER) estimation, log-likelihood ratio (LLR) computation, symbol-to-bits decoding, automatic constellation alignment
  • New adaptive equalizer model combining functionality of feed-forward and decision feedback equalizer (FFE/DFE) and nonlinear Volterra equalizer, which simplifies comparative studies of different equalizer types and settings
  • Extended multimode signal model to support heterogeneous multicore fibers with cores that can have different parameters and support different number of modes
  • Extended modules for multimode fiber, amplifier, couplers to support signals of multicore fibers as well
  • Improved visualization and analysis of multimode signals by VPIphotonicsAnalyzer, including signals in multicore fibers; signal selection by core number, radial and azimuthal index
  • Improved analysis (Q-factor, eye opening) of multi-level pulse amplitude modulation (mPAM) signals
  • New and enhanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, such as blind phase search (BPS) for carrier-phase recovery, multi-modulus algorithm (MMA) for optimal equalization of signals with higher order modulation, and others Many more features and enhancements are provided.

VPIphotonics specialises in end-to-end photonic design automation comprising design, analysis and optimization of components, systems and networks. It provides professional simulation software supporting requirements of active/passive integrated photonics and fibre optics applications, optical transmission system and network applications, as well as cost-optimized equipment configuration.
