ANALOG PHOTONICS - SUNY POLY
COMPONENT LIBRARY

Analog Photonics and SUNY Polytechnic Institute logos

When companies use the Analog Photonics - SUNY Polytechnic Component Library under the AIM Photonics PDK, they not only have access to the most up-to-date silicon photonics components, but also access to a community driving and enabling tomorrow’s silicon photonics design methodologies.

Benefits of APSUNY Silicon Photonics PDK technologies

  • Support for Active PIC, Passive PIC, and active chip carrier

  • Extensive component library

  • O Band [1260 nm-1360 nm] support

  • C+L Band [1500 nm-1600 nm] support

  • 100 Gbps modulation and detection

  • Push-pull analog and digital modulators for low chirp, long distance links

  • Low loss passives, fiber-to-chip couplers

  • Polarization diversity circuits (Low PDL)

Other helpful information to know

  • The current PDK version that should be used for passive or active MPW runs is 6.0 or newer. Please contact us to confirm if an older version will be compatible.

  • The community of organizations who use our PDK is growing. To support this design work and provide information about common questions, we’ve set up help desk functions. See details about getting an account.

  • See also information about the PDK License Agreement.
