Abstract
Photonic integrated circuits are rapidly advancing in several applications, such as datacom, RF, sensing, automotive and medical. Validated design flows are key to commercializing silicon photonics for these applications. In this talk, I will introduce Ansys Lumerical’s multiphysics simulation workflows for designing key components in photonic integrated circuits, including semiconductor lasers, electro-optic modulators, photodetectors, couplers, and resonators. I will also discuss the Electronics Photonics Design Automation (EPDA) workflows that combine Ansys Lumerical with other Electronics Design Automation (EDA) tools for designing integrated photonic and electronic circuits. I will also briefly discuss career opportunities at Ansys, which could be of interest to graduating students.
