Anyone searching for a solution to optimize their photonic integrated circuit designs
About L-Edit Photonics
Design your photonic integrated circuit in a layout-centric flow. The designer can implement their design using either a drag-and-drop or a script-driven methodology. Both of those are in the same full custom IC design layout editor that drives the physical verification and tape-out processes. L-Edit Photonics enables the fast creation of a photonic design using a drag-and-drop methodology in an IC layout editor, without having to write a single line of code. Once the design is completed, a netlist can be extracted for photonic simulation. PIC design in a complete IC layout editor, Create a layout without writing a line of code. Supports a layout-centric design flow where a schematic is not needed. Schematic flow optional with S-Edit. A simulation netlist can be created as input into a photonic simulator. Photonic simulation is supported through integration with our partners. Photonic PDKs are available from multiple foundries.
