Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT

A robust photonic integrated circuit (PIC) simulator with computational evaluation of multimode, bidirectional, and multi-channel photonic devices.

Photonic Integrated Circuit

Evaluate Multimode, Bidirectional, and Multi-Channel PICs

Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT, a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) simulator, explores and evaluates multimode, bidirectional, and multi-channel photonic device circuits and components.

Engineers can use INTERCONNECT’s extensive library of primitive elements and foundry-specific PDK (Process Development Kit) elements to create large complex systems or combine component parts to form a device. Projects are created in a hierarchical schematic editor and statistical analysis can be conducted in the time or frequency domain.
