Openlight design enablement

Press releases

Customers design PASICs using OpenLight's Process Design Kit.

OpenLight is focused on design enablement to provide customers with everything they need to design their own, bespoke PASIC - Photonic Application-Specific Integrated Circuit.

OpenLight licenses customers with an open-platform, Process Design Kit (PDK). The PDK takes engineers through all the steps necessary to design a world-leading PASIC. It provides access to a comprehensive library of active photonics components, such as tuneable DFB lasers, EA modulators, optical amplifiers, and photo detectors.

OpenLight’s Heterogeneous Integration technology means that all these active components can be fabricated as part of the same silicon photonics PASIC, removing the need to source and assemble separate lasers on silicon die. In addition, optical performance is improved, due to very low loss between active components and waveguides.

OpenLight – making photonics simple.
