PIC-Based Switch Design and System-Level Analysis

Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) switches play a crucial role in datacenters enabling fast and energy-efficient communication between the different nodes. Integrating many subsystem modules into a single PIC improves the overall footprint, reduces energy consumption, and lowers costs. However, ensuring optimal performance requires thorough PIC analysis at both the chip and system levels. Join us for an engaging webinar where Luceda Photonics and Optiwave Systems will showcase how their advanced tools make this process seamless. Discover how the Luceda Photonic Design Platform and Optiwave’s OptiSystem software empower designers to fully design, analyze and characterize PICs from chip level up to system level. By combining Luceda IPKISS and Optiwave’s OptiSystem, designers can easily investigate the interaction between different subsystems and identify the tolerances of the PIC to noise and interference of other modules. Moreover, with simulation analysis designers can conduct investigations that could not be possible in the measurement lab. In this webinar, Luceda Photonics will demonstrate how to synthesize, analyze and tape-out a PIC cross-connect switch layout using Luceda IPKISS. Through this demonstration, you’ll learn how to analyze PIC device non-idealities, such as optical crosstalk, and assess their impact on the performance of the PIC circuit. Optiwave Systems will then showcase how the PIC can be embedded in a black box and analyzed in OptiSystem software, the leading system simulation platform from Optiwave. With this, you’ll explore different modulation schemes and various test scenarios. By the end of this webinar, you’ll gain insights into how the integration of Luceda IPKISS and Optiwave software enables you to efficiently design, analyze, and tape-out your PICs, from chip level to system level, helping you avoid costly errors before the physical production of the chip.
