Layout Editor
Design interface for photonics
A powerful and user-friendly design interface
OmniSim offers a very flexible layout editor which allows you to design virtually any device you want with a large flexibility associated with an precise numerical position control.
The OmniSim Editor is optimised for integrated photonics; for the design of photonic crystals please see also the CrystalWave Editor (available as part of OmniSim).
Features:
Optimal for the modelling of planar integrated optics: design a ring resonator or a tapered waveguide in just a few clicks!
- Device layer editor for quick definition of your epitaxial structure
- Supports etch and growth processes
- Advanced etch process:
- tilted etch capabilities to generate non-vertical etch walls
- tapered, rounded-bottom etching
- anisotropic etching etc.
- Extensive shape library including user defined functions and 3D objects such as cuboids, ellipsoids, trapezoids and cylinders
- Free rotation of almost any object
- Powerful Constraint system to build more complex structures by joining elements together
- Hierarchical framework - create elements and reference them as sub-elements in another design
- Periodic elements (in 1 or 2 directions)
- Arbitrary number of mask layers
- Multi-level undo/redo
- Export to mask file with advanced mask generation features
