India, April 17 -- Photonics has moved from research-led experimentation into deployed systems across data communications, sensing, and emerging compute architectures. As photonic integration increases, the limitations of ad hoc design approaches become visible. Optical behaviour is continuous, wavelength-dependent, and sensitive to fabrication variation. Electrical assumptions around discretization, abstraction, and timing do not translate directly.

Photonics EDA addresses this gap. It provides the modelling, simulation, layout, and verification infrastructure required to design photonic integrated circuits with the same engineering discipline expected in electronic design. The objective is not tool proliferation. It is decision confide...
