Introduction

What is PICWAVE?

PICWave is a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) simulator capable of modelling both passive and active components efficiently using a time domain method. It includes a detailed multi-modal SOA model. The simulator is ideal for studying the interaction of optical components in a larger circuit and can model devices that are even metres in length. It can for example model a 2mm diameter ring resonator in a very short time to resolutions of a few MHz in optical frequency.
