When modeling photonics in electro-optical systems, what previously worked for simple transceiver photonic ICs (PICs) is not necessarily going to work for the next generation of high-density AI and photonic computing chips. Here’s a look at why electrical circuit languages are not robust enough for electro-optics codesign, and why designers are upgrading to unified electronic-photonic design platforms that allow more natural, domain-specific characterization of electronics and photonics.
The submissions for the lens design or illumination design competitions for this year’s International Optical Design Conference (IODC) are due in less than a month. Here are some tips from a previous winner.
Students, enter the Robert S. Hilbert Student Design Competition by submitting your class paper by June 15. Here are some hints to consider when entering.
Meet one of our new employees, Dr. Eric Schiesser, Optical Software Developer, who recently joined the Synopsys Optical Solutions Group. He’s a recent graduate from the University of Rochester, with his thesis research in Freeform Telescope Design. Prior to his Ph.D. in Optics, Eric also obtained his B.S in Physics and Optical Engineering from University of Rochester with highest honors (magna cum laude) in May 2012.
If you are designing freeform optics, check out the top five tools that will support your design optimization and analysis in CODE V.
In memoriam of Mr. Thomas I. Harris, 1930 – 2021, Founder of Optical Research Associates and co-inventor of CODE V.
Happy 26th Anniversary to LightTools! We are celebrating 26 years of this 3D optical engineering and design software product, which supports virtual prototyping, simulation, optimization, and photorealistic renderings of illumination applications. We’re highlighting a feature that’s beneficial for novice and advanced users alike: the LightTools Example Model Library.
Meet the newest principal engineer of imaging optics of the Synopsys Optical Engineering Services team, Dr. Luc Gilles. Read about his journey into his optics career, which began as a young scientist in Brussels.
There’s no doubt that this has been an unusual and challenging year. Trade shows, conferences, and events were postponed or converted to an online format, we learned to use new video conferencing platforms, and telecommuting became the norm for every day. What has not changed is that we have continued to be there for our customers and provide ready access to resources and training. Learn about our upcoming tech talks and available resources.
Read about the latest version of LightTools, which brings faster optomechanical modeling with SOLIDWORKS, enhanced LiDAR design features, and increased ray tracing speed with distributed simulation support.
Optical and photonic design topics, including software highlights, commentary on trends, current events, and conferences.
