About us

At Luceda Photonics, we enable photonic IC designers to enjoy the same power as electronic IC designers. Since our launch in 2014, we've worked with thousands of customers and partners across the globe.

We automate and integrate the complete photonic design flow. Our Python-based platform enables design teams to easily share and reuse their photonic design IP using a standard language. 

Our team has a combined experience in photonics of over 50 years. This is what sets us apart when helping our customers create manufacturable designs. Our design products bundle this expertise, enabling customers to achieve their first tape-out quickly and get their designs right the first time.
