Foundations of PIC design: materials, devices and processes

Simulation-Driven PIC Design – Accelerating Performance, Reliability and Time-to-Market

As photonic integration grows in complexity, simulation accuracy becomes critical. This presentation explores how multi-physics simulation enables precise modelling of optical, thermal, and electrical interactions within PICs. Attendees will learn how design optimisation and virtual prototyping reduce development cycles, improve device performance, and support reliable scaling of next-generation photonic platforms.
