Why work with Photon Design?
Work with Industry Experts
A case where one meeting with our team saved hours of simulation time
At Photonics West 2026 we met an engineer contesting challenging FDTD runtimes while optimising their taper geometry, taking ~20 minutes on the cloud for a scan of taper lengths. By the end of our meeting CEO Dr Dominic Gallagher had run thousands of simulations in the same time, setting up a routine for taper optimisation (now made general) for minimising a taper’s length while maximizing throughput.
Respectfully this company has elected to remain anonymous.
From a start-up’s perspective, Photon Design have gone above and beyond in providing flexible and affordable access to their software in this critical stage of our company’s formation…their technical response and support are second to none, with a swift turnaround on solving problems and advising on design aspects that keeps our momentum going forward to meet deadlines
Teaching With Industry Grade Tools
Students at Cardiff University learn Photon Design with our experts in person with direct integration into their doctoral teaching. Teaching licences are available for free with research licences allowing you to host interactive teaching activities and workshops at no additional charge.
Want to set this up for your corse? Reach out to our team to coordinate your licence and how we can help.
I think the customizable computation region (not including empty areas in the simulation) is a killer feature of MT-FIMMPROP. I also very much enjoy being able to put together a relatively complex device that is fully parameterized with practically zero code. This allows me to focus on the proper parameterization scheme of a given device/circuit rather than on debugging code.
"Photon Design’s simulation tools enabled rapid iteration and confident transition from design to fabrication, along with accurate modelling of edge coupling to commercially available, photonic foundry processes."
