Synopsys’ RSoft products are leading solutions used to design and analyze optical telecommunication devices, optical components used in semiconductor manufacturing, and nano-scale optical structures. They enable engineers to design and optimize the optical components and systems found in products such as fiber optic networks, semiconductor lithography equipment, silicon optical chips and LEDs.

RSoft's Photonic Component Design Suite

RSoft's Photonic Component Design Suite provide the most extensive collection of award-winning design tools that allows users to design and simulate both passive and active photonic devices for optical communications, optoelectronics, and semiconductor manufacturing.

RSoft currently addresses both passive and active devices through two design suites: a Passive Device Suite and an Active Device Suite. Each suite includes a CAD environment, simulation engines, and an optimization utility.

Key Features

• Highly accurate algorithms allow for rapid virtual prototyping reducing the need for costly and lengthy physical prototyping increasing productivity and decreasing time-to-market.
• Assists in the discovery of new products by creating "what if" product scenarios.
• Each algorithm engine shares a common CAD interface; the software can utilize multiple RSoft packages without having to import designs from one software to the next.
• Scripting can be done with any programming language.
• Includes automated parameter scanning via MOST.
• Each simulation engine is licensed and sold separately, allowing users to choose only those that are relevant to their work.

RSoft's Photonic System Design Suite

RSoft's Photonic System Design Suite allows users to design and simulate current and next-generation optical communication systems and photonic integrated circuits at the signal propagation level. Currently three software packages are part of the suite:

• OptSim, ModeSYS - Simulate single mode & multimode optical communication systems at the signal propagation level.
• OptSim Circuit - Models single- and multi-stage bidirectional photonic integrated circuits (PICs)

These advanced tools enhance and accelerate user-modeling capabilities and provide real field design scenarios using extensive industry specifications. Our users include optical component and equipment manufacturers, system integrators, service providers, as well as government labs and academic institutions. Whether you are interested in maximizing performance, minimizing costs, reducing time to market, fast prototyping, or analyzing multiple "what-if" scenarios for optical communication systems, these tools will become an inseparable partner and the secret of your success.
