Key Features

Design and optimize a wide range of photonic integrated circuits using INTERCONNECT’s extensive library of models, ready to use foundry calibrated models, or customized compact models.

PIC Design, Simulation, and Optimization
Multiplatform EDA Enablement
PDK Driven Design

Classical PIC Design and Simulation

With its hierarchical schematic editor, INTERCONNECT allows you to design and simulate photonic integrated circuits.

It includes frequency domain analysis, transient sample mode simulation, and transient block mode simulation. It also includes sophisticated visualization and data analysis tools with support for parameter sweeps and design optimization.

Lumerical Interconnect quantum simulation

Quantum PIC Design and Simulation

INTERCONNECT includes a dedicated quantum photonic IC solver called qINTERCONNECT.

Easy workflows in qINTERCONNECT enable non-quantum theorists to evaluate the fidelity and probability of success in the presence of fabrication imperfections, loss, and partially distinguishable photons.

EDA and PDA Interoperability

Simulate and optimize your designs with familiar EDA design tools and workflows to accelerate design time and improve reliability.

Statistical Analysis

Perform corner analysis to model the effects of process variation on circuit performance.

Execute Monte Carlo analysis to assess circuit performance and yield by accounting for process variations.

PIC Element Libraries

INTERCONNECT contains an extensive standard library of passive and active optoelectronic building blocks and supplementary elements that enable simulations and analysis results.

It includes two library extensions:

An element library extension for laser modeling
An element library extension for advanced system modeling, including sophisticated fiber, amplifier, FEC encoding, and equalization models

CML Development and Distribution

INTERCONNECT and Ansys Lumerical’s device-level tools provide an infrastructure for developing and distributing photonic compact model libraries (CMLs) for PIC design and simulation.

A compact model is typically built upon a combination of experimentally measured data and accurate component-level simulation results using Lumerical’s device-level photonics tools.
