Join us at ECOC 2025! Come say 'hej!' 🇩🇰 to our experts at exhibition stand C4238 to hear more about how we’re advancing photonics simulations for your world-class engineering.
Photon Design, a global leader in photonic simulation CAD software, will exhibit at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC) 2025, in Copenhagen, Booth C4238, from 28 September to 2 October. The company will be celebrating an exceptional year of growth and innovation at ECOC, Europe's leading optical communications exhibition for academia, research, and industry.
Dr. Dominic Gallagher, CEO of Photon Design, said, “Since last year’s ECOC exhibition, Photon Design has prioritised product development; added application engineering roles to the staff team; developed the website and social media presence; and delivered a widerange of seminars and product training sessions, leading to greater awareness of the company and growth.
“Key updates to our product range include the Multi-Topology (MT)-FIMMPROP simulator, which models industry leading PICs and passive waveguide devices and design flows, in a unified environment, using our proprietary EigenMode Expansion (EME) model. We have a quantum dot module option for our HAROLD laser simulation tool ready to release, which is for modelling epitaxy structures in quantum dot lasers. Finally, we have enhanced OmniSim performance, which simulate complete device designs, such as for 3D surface grating couplers. OmniSim delivers rigorous results using our FDTD model; and is up to five times
quicker than our competitors.
“We have also implemented a broad training and seminar program for customers; launched a new photond.com website platform and customer information portal; and we have expanded our Oxford team to include application engineers. This is to support customers
and capture product feedback, ensuring our next-generation simulation products remain at the forefront of the industry.”
