Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT

In this learning track, we will learn how to use Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT for photonic circuit simulations. We will begin by discussing the importance of circuit solvers in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design. Following this, we will cover the basic workflow for Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT simulations by going through a hands-on, step-by-step example. Then we will discuss how and when to perform frequency-domain simulations in Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT. We will also learn about the scattering analysis algorithm used by the solver. Following this, we learn how to perform time-domain simulations with Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT and discuss when to use each of the two signal processing approaches: ample Mode and Block Mode. We will then cover the basics of creating custom models by going through step-by-step examples of how to create three different types of custom models: S-parameter elements, compound elements, and scripted elements. Finally, we will learn how to build and publish a custom compact model library (CML) and the basics of working with published libraries.

A track completion digital badge allows you to showcase your expertise and get recognized globally. We partner with the Credly Acclaim platform. Digital badges can be used in email signatures, digital resumes, social and professional media. The digital image contains verified metadata that describes your participation in the specific learning track consisting of multiple courses. This digital badge is for successfully completing the Ansys Lumerical INTERCONNECT track.
