Integrated photonics design innovator Wave Photonics has announced that all Process Design Kits (PDKs) hosted, developed, or managed through its PDK Management Platform are officially compatible with Synopsys OptoCompiler. Operating as a unified electronic and photonic design automation platform, Synopsys OptoCompiler fuses dedicated photonic simulation with schematic-driven layouts and circuit verification. This direct software compatibility enables hardware engineers to synthesize, simulate, and verify complex Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) across multiple material stacks and wide-spectrum wavelengths from blue light to standard telecommunications bands. The system integration provides a strategic design environment for developers building sub-systems for quantum technologies, data center telecommunications, and [...]
