Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are becoming more important in many areas, such as communications, remote sensing, or medical applications. Designers in this field rely on simulation to study and optimize a circuit, even before the prototype stage. Simulating such devices can be challenging due to their large size in relation to the wavelength of interest, and due to the need for multiphysics simulation. For example, PIC components are often thermally tuned to operate at a specific wavelength. CST Studio Suite®​​​​​​​ offers a versatile platform to address these challenges. The user-friendly, interactive GUI allows the user to build geometries or import them from common layout formats (GDSII, DXF, e.g.). A link to Luceda Photonics IPKISS allows a completely automated model generation from layout data.
