VANCOUVER, British Columbia, March 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In support of customers and partners that had planned to see Lumerical at OFC or are unable to attend themselves, Lumerical will present an Online Tech Day on Friday, March 13th showcasing the latest photonic simulation technology and joint solutions with key ecosystem players. Over a dozen leading ecosystem players will participate providing demonstrations and talks highlighting their joint activities with Lumerical. In addition, Lumerical will host two engaging design challenges online over the course of the day.

Lumerical Tech Day offers four online channels throughout the day:

Moving into the coming decade, we will require not only excellent software tools but also new ways of thinking and collaborating across the ecosystem to cope with the vast complexity of today’s technologies. To this end, we greatly appreciate Lumerical Tech Day.

Post this
  • Lumerical Demo Channel: Ecosystem demonstrations on the half hour
  • Q&A Channel: Interactive Q&A sessions following demos
  • Lumerical Ecosystem Expert Channel: Ecosystem players host 'office hours' - drop in!
  • Lumerical Design Challenge Channel: Live results of the Lumerical Photonic Inverse Design Challenge

Ashkan Seyedi, Senior Research Scientist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), said "Silicon photonics technology is rapidly becoming commercialized at volume foundries. Support of this movement requires the development of a strong ecosystem. The momentum that will be demonstrated during Lumerical Online Tech Day and the commercial solution for automated wafer testing enabled by partnerships HPE has built – is a signal that this development is underway."

Participating ecosystem players include EDA and Photonic Design Automation vendors Cadence, Mentor, a Siemens business and Luceda Photonics, photonic foundries AIM, AMF, CompoundTek, SMART Photonics, HHI, LIGENTEC, Tower Semiconductor, photonics technology companies Analog Photonics, and HPE, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

"We at CompoundTek have been working very closely with Lumerical in building our silicon photonics ecosystem. It is great to see Lumerical Online Tech Day bringing together the individual components in streamlining a tangible design flow for silicon photonics and we will continue to work together with Lumerical to accelerate SiPh adoption and enable our customers the fastest route to tape-out success," said KS Ang, Chief Operating Officer, CompoundTek.

Luceda Photonics CEO Erwin De Baetselier, said, "Luceda Photonics and Lumerical offer a seamless Python-based flow including layout, physical simulation and circuit simulation. The fact that design teams are starting to use automation across the complete design flow while targeting diverse materials systems and foundries is proof that the design ecosystem is maturing."

"Looking back at the last decade, photonic integration made tremendous leaps. Moving into the coming decade, we will require not only excellent software tools but also new ways of thinking and collaborating across the ecosystem to cope with the vast complexity of today's technologies. To this end, we greatly appreciate Lumerical Tech Day," said Moritz Baier, Head of InP Foundry Group at Fraunhofer HHI.

Lumerical CTO James Pond stated, "With our focus on PIC, it is clear to us that to deliver a complete solution we need to work closely with the key players in the photonic ecosystem. We are grateful to all the companies that we are cooperating with and especially those that are participating with us in Lumerical Online Tech Day."

Throughout Lumerical Online Tech Day, Lumerical will demonstrate the latest solutions on the Lumerical Demo Channel with these key ecosystem players:

16:30    Design Challenge Results & Wrap Up
17:00    AMF
17:30    CompoundTek + Cadence + Mentor
18:30    Conclusion
*schedule subject to change

In addition, Lumerical will host an online Inverse Design Challenge. Participants can apply their best parameters to a preselected design via a simple web interface, and view real time results on the Lumerical Design Challenge Channel's online leaderboard.

In parallel, Lumerical engineers will push photonic inverse design to the limit with the Lumerical Best-in-Class design challenge. Lumerical engineers will utilize the power of photonic inverse design running on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) in an attempt to create a design that exceeds the best published Figures of Merit for a functionally equivalent design.
