RSoft Photonic CAD Suite 2026: Advanced Photonic Device Design Software RSoft 2026 is the latest release of Keysight’s comprehensive photonic device simulation suite, featuring a new Topology Optimizer for inverse design, enhanced GPU-accelerated FullWAVE FDTD (up to 3× faster for dispersive simulations), expanded BSDF utilities, and seamless integration with Keysight ADS Photonic Designer for end-to-end PIC workflows . Key New Features in 2026 Topology Optimizer (Inverse Design) Freeform Inverse-Design Tool: Built directly into the RSoft CAD environment, enabling automated generation of optimal photonic structures based on user-defined performance objectives No Predefined Structures Required: Eliminates manual iteration through design variations; supports binarization, design-rule checks, and multi-case test definitions Complex Geometry Exploration: Enables design of structures such as MMI couplers and other...

Luceda Photonics IPKISS Design Suite 2025.12 is the latest major version of the comprehensive photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design platform from Luceda Photonics. Built around IPKISS—a powerful parametric design framework in Python—it enables designers to create, simulate, layout, and verify photonic circuits with full control over geometry, simulation, and tape-out preparation. This release empowers PIC designers to work more efficiently, collaborate seamlessly, and gain deeper insights from the earliest design stages through streamlined PDK creation, interactive visualization, smarter placement & routing, native dummy fill support, and enhanced simulation robustness. The platform integrates layout (IPKISS Canvas), circuit simulation (Caphe), physical simulation (via PDKs and solvers), verification, and fabrication prep in one ecosystem, supporting foundry PDKs (SiFab, open-source, commercial) and enabling rapid...
