OptiSPICE and OptiSPICE Plugin for Electrical-Optical Co-simulation

Day1 (February 1: 12:00PM to 2:00PM EST): OptiSPICE software for handling the complex electro-optic circuits at the chip scale

• The advantage of OptiSPICE comprehensive design environment allowing to simulate optical and electrical circuits in one simulation engine.
• Handling the complex post processing functionality and the waveform analysis using OptiSystem
• Running state-of-the-art transient time domain, AC and DC analysis to accurately predict the behaviour of advanced opti-electronic circuits.
• Carrying out simulations using S-parameters files (optical OR electrical) in standard Touchstone format.
• Creating and managing your own complex circuit libraries.

Day2 (February 2nd: 12:00PM to 2:00PM EST): OptiSPICE plug-in and Integration of optical models into Tanner EDA

• This event will showcase the seamless integration of optical models (build by Optiwave) into the Tanner EDA enabling the simulation of complex electro-optic circuits from schematic or mask layout within a single design environment (i.e. using SPICE engine).
• Support for Tanner GPIC PDK
• Direct opto-electronic interfacing with SPICE components via laser/photodiode/modulators, etc.
• Carrying out simulation using optical S-parmeter device for passive components (compatible with OptiFDTD and OptiBPM).
• User defined or experimental data input for compact model creation i.e. waveguide effective index and responsivity.
• Standard bandpass, bandstop optical filter components (Butterworth, Chebyshev, Bessel) for quick prototyping.
• Optical signal visualization (magnitude, phase, real, imaginary, power, etc.) with Tanner Waveform Viewer.
• Creating and managing your own complex circuit libraries.
