Achieve more with light.Comprehensive suite of leading photonic design tools.
Component DesignMultiphysics Component DesignLumerical’s highly integrated suite of component design tools is purpose-built to investigate and understand complex multiphysics effects occurring in photonic devices. Designers can combine a vast collection of finite-difference and finite-element optical engines with charge and heat transport solvers to model opto-thermal and electro-optic effects in two and three dimensions.
System & Circuit DesignPhotonic Integrated Circuit DesignLumerical’s INTERCONNECT allows designers to define circuit architecture and connectivity, build new or import foundry compact model libraries (CMLs), and simulate the performance of photonic integrated circuits. Designers can integrate photonic circuit simulations into schematic or layout driven design flows and tools for electronic and photonic circuits.
