The Synopsys Photonic Solutions team wishes you a happy and successful 2020!
Let us help make your design plans a reality with our Photonic Solutions platform for device simulation (RSoft Photonic Device Tools), system design (Photonic System Tools), circuit design, layout and verification (PIC Design Suite), and schematic vs. layout (ICV).
We are proud to help our customers innovate consumer and industrial communications, sensing, and imaging applications with our enhanced algorithms, new design capabilities, and faster simulations. Thank you for your support!
Our Support Email Address Has Changed
Please note that we have a new, single email address that you can use to get help for all Photonic Solutions tools: photonics_support@synopsys.com. You can direct your questions for the RSoft Photonic Device Tools, Photonic System Tools (OptSim, ModeSYS), and PIC Design Suite (OptoDesigner, OptSim Circuit) to this new address.
Please update your address book to remove the old support addresses (rsoft_support@synopsys.com and/or pic_support@synopsys.com). We look forward to supporting you with our new address: photonics_support@synopsys.com!
SPIE Photonics West 2020
Visit Synopsys Booth #757 at SPIE Photonics West, February 4-6, 2020, to learn about Synopsys’ complete optical and photonic software solutions:
We will also offer the following workshops and technical presentations that focus on the latest developments in optical and photonic technologies:
- Design of Efficient Illumination Systems, February 2, 2020, 1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.
- Photonic Instrumentation Engineering VII, February 4-6, 2020
- Geometry optimization of unidirectional integrated ring laser, February 5, 2020, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
- Abstracting network elements from mask layout to network management: a case study, February 5, 2020, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
New Application Note: PIC Design Suite Transparent Components
Synopsys Photonic Solutions presents a new application note on using our PIC Design Suite to create transparent components.
When designing photonic circuits, you may not always know which technology will be used to fabricate the circuit. It is useful to create a single circuit design that is compatible with multiple foundries to compare performance and costs in different technologies. Synopsys can help you do this with a unique, technology-agnostic library: px-elements. Read the application note.

Synopsys Photonic Solutions Licensing for Students and Educators
Invest in the future with the most advanced photonic design software available: RSoft Photonic Device Tools, Photonic System Tools, and the PIC Design Suite from Synopsys Photonic Solutions.
Our university and student licensing programs are great opportunities for schools to provide their students with an opportunity to learn industry-standard software, using the same version as the professionals. Students can complete course work and research assignments with the assistance of an expert optical design tool, while building their value in the job market! For the university licensing program, a university representative can contact us at photonics@synopsys.com. For the student licensing program, students can fill out our information request form.
At a dramatically reduced cost, gain access to our photonic tools for device and optical communications systems design, and the PIC Design Suite for photonic integrated circuit design. If you would like more details, contact us at photonics@synopsys.com.
