Photon Design exhibiting product range at ECOC 2025
Photonic simulation CAD software developer Photon Design Ltd of Oxford, UK is exhibiting in booth C4238 at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2025) in Copenhagen, Denmark (28 September–2 October).
“Since last year’s ECOC exhibition, Photon Design has prioritized product development; added application engineering roles to the staff team; developed the website and social media presence; and delivered a wide range of seminars and product training sessions, leading to greater awareness of the company and growth,” notes CEO Dr Dominic Gallagher.
“Key updates to our product range include the Multi-Topology (MT)-FIMMPROP simulator, which models industry-leading PICs [photonic integrated circuits] and passive waveguide devices and design flows, in a unified environment, using our proprietary EigenMode Expansion (EME) model. We have a quantum dot module option for our HAROLD laser simulation tool ready to release, which is for modelling epitaxy structures in quantum dot lasers. Finally, we have enhanced OmniSim performance, which simulate complete device designs, such as for 3D surface grating couplers. OmniSim delivers rigorous results using our FDTD [finite-difference time-domain] model; and is up to five times quicker than our competitors,” he adds.
“We have also implemented a broad training and seminar program for customers; launched a new photond.com website platform and customer information portal; and we have expanded our Oxford team to include application engineers. This is to support customers and capture product feedback, ensuring our next-generation simulation products remain at the forefront of the industry.”
