PIC Bootcamp ADVANCED: PIC design using Lumerical and Synopsys Optocompiler

This advanced course provides practical training in the design and simulation of photonic devices and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) using Ansys Lumerical and Synopsys OptoCompiler. Delegates will learn the underlying theory of key photonic components and circuits, then apply it through guided design and simulation exercises using industry-standard tools and the CORNERSTONE process design kit (PDK).

Coming soon in 2026! Stay tuned.
