Photonic Solutions 21.9

Photonic Solutions by Synopsys is a comprehensive platform for designing, simulating, and verifying photonic devices, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and optoelectronic systems. It unifies device-level electromagnetic modeling with circuit- and system-level simulation, and links them to manufacturable layout and verification, helping teams move efficiently from concept to tapeout.

Key capabilities include:

• Device modeling and analysis with rigorous electromagnetic solvers to characterize passive and active components and generate compact models.
• Schematic-driven circuit and system simulation for photonic and electro-optic designs, with co-simulation to align photonics with electronic IC behavior.
• Foundry-ready PIC layout using process design kits (PDKs), physical checks, and streamlined GDSII export for fabrication.
• Workflow automation and integration with Synopsys EDA tools to support scalable, repeatable photonic design processes.

Common applications span data and telecom, sensing and LiDAR, high-performance computing interconnects, and silicon photonics research and product development.

Photonic Solutions is developed by Synopsys. The most popular version of this product among our users is 21.9.
