Ghent, Belgium and Madrid, Spain – March 5, 2025
Luceda Photonics, a leading provider of PIC design software and services, is proud to announce its partnership with Alcyon Photonics as an IP provider partner, expanding the capabilities of existing Luceda PDKs.
This collaboration brings Alcyon’s advanced Intellectual Property (IP) blocks into the Luceda Photonics Design Platform. PIC designers now have more options to design their PICs when addressing stringent specs at the component level, such as loss, polarization insensitivity, and bandwidth, to meet requirements that are commonplace in telecom, quantum, and lidar applications.
By integrating Alcyon’s advanced photonic building blocks into the Luceda IPKISS, both the layout and models of the components are coherently accessible to the designer and can be used alongside existing PDK components or custom designs. IPKISS users can immediately start using them and leverage the entire Luceda Photonics Design Platform.
"This partnership with Luceda Photonics strengthens our mission to make high-performance integrated photonics more accessible," said Jimena García-Romeu, CEO of Alcyon Photonics. "By offering our IP through Luceda’s powerful design environment, we are empowering engineers and companies to bring innovative photonic solutions to market faster and with greater confidence."
"At Luceda, our mission is to empower photonic designers with the most flexible and efficient tools available," said Pierre Wahl, CCO of Luceda Photonics. "By incorporating Alcyon’s components into our design ecosystem, we are providing our users with access to premium components that would be hard for non-specialists to access through custom design.”
