Optsim Circuit

Optsim CircuitOptSim Circuit is an extension of Synopsys award-winning fiber optic systems modeling tool, OptSim. It delivers a single framework, engine and sets of models to study systems ranging from long-haul optical communication systems to sub-micron photonic circuits. This enables you to evaluate system-level performance in OptSim of a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) that is designed in OptSim Circuit. It is an ideal platform to study optical systems and photonic circuits that operate with coupling and feedback of different optical and electrical signal paths.BenefitsInnovative tool for the design automation of next-generation photonic integrated circuits (Ple)Reusable user-defined components and compound componentsOptions for exporting data and for co-simulation with external toolsIntuitive graphical user interfacePowerful options for data visualization, plotting and management of project resourcesIntuitive representation of repeating and hierarchical elements helps you create PIC layouts quickly and efficientlyApplicationsOptSim Circuit is ideally suited for computer-aided design of PIC applications and bidirectional systems, including but not limited to:Single- and multi-stage bidirectional PlCsIntegrated transceiversIntegrated network subassemblies and switching fabricsFFTx/PONMicrowave photonicsOptical interconnectsSensing technologies, including interferometric fiber optic gyroscopes FeaturesExtends OptSim's system modeling capabilities to include PICsModels complex signal interactions, such as forward and backward propagating reflections and resonanceModels bidirectional propagation for both optical and electrical signalsModels multipath Interference (MPI) from network and PIC elementsIncludes library of PIC elements such as bidirectional waveguides, bidirectional couplers and connectors, light sources, modulators, phase shifter, ring resonator, ring modulator and photo diodesIncludes measurement and plotting tools, such as optical and electrical scopes, signal, spectrum and eye diagram analyzers, Q-factor and BER estimators, power meters, and more
