APSUNY - LOW-LOSS COMPONENT LIBRARY

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 practices and methodologies.

Benefits of APSUNY Silicon Photonics PDK technologies

• Support for ACT2 Low Loss Platform

• 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 Actives and Passives

• Low insertion loss couplers (fiber to chip)

• Polarization diversity circuits (Low PDL)

• Thermal Optic Phase Shifter, 8-30x power reduction for Pπ, Must use “TU” Thermal undercut Technology
