OptiSPICE Applications
OptiSPICE is the only SPICE software available for Opto-Electronics. It incorporates equations governing optical components directly into an electrical simulation framework, thus forming a single-engine optoelectronic simulation tool. Previously, the ability for a single software package to tightly model optical-electrical integration, thermal coupling, and various optical effects (such as interference, reflection, and multiple carrier frequencies) was non-existent.
OptiSPICE Plugin now supports Ligentec PDK
Introduction In high speed Digital Signal Processing (DSP), coherent detection technique is used in complex quasi-monochromatic fields modulated Digital Subcarrier Multiplexed (DSCM) systems. Coherent detection is a common phenomenon used in communication systems, where a local carrier mixes with the received radio frequency (RF) signal to generate a product term. As a result, the received…
