A selection of photonic circuits with active components (SOAs or lasers) simulated with PICWave. Its time-domain engine will allow you to simulate all the dynamics of the circuit!

Examples:

• DQPSK
• Active 2R regenerator
• 4x4 switch
• Balanced detector
• Travel wave modulator
• Link to Harold

PICWave can also model passive photonic circuits, including by importing component models from rigorous Maxwell solvers such as FIMMPROP.

Examples:

• Nonlinear optics PPLN
• Large ring resonators
• Disp compensating FBG
• Link to FIMMPROP

A PICWave building block is a sub-circuit (a laser or MZI, for example) which can be used and re-used as an element in any other circuit. PICWave allows you to create your own libraries of building blocks, which can include parameterised FIMMPROP component models. We currently supply various design kit libraries for different fabs.

Examples:

• Building Block System
• Design Kits
