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 Design 2025.12 | Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Design & Process Design Kit (PDK) Platform Luceda Photonics Design 2025.12 is an advanced software platform dedicated to the design, simulation, and layout of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). It provides an integrated environment with powerful process design kits (PDKs) for major foundries, streamlining the design flow from schematic capture to fabrication-ready layouts. Core Functionality Overview: Schematic-Driven Layout & PDK Integration: Enables hierarchical schematic design of photonic circuits with automated layout generation based on parametric cells from foundry PDKs (e.g., AMF, Ligentec, imec). Circuit Simulation & Analysis: Integrates simulation engines for photonic circuit simulation, including frequency-domain and time-domain analysis, to predict optical performance (transmission, loss, crosstalk). Design Rule Checking (DRC) & Verification:...
