Welcome to the course on designing passive photonic components using Lumerical tools. This course is designed to provide you with the skills to model and analyze photonic chip passive components.
About the Instructor
My name is Majid, and I am currently working at Ozen Engineering, Inc. I hold a PhD in photonics and have extensive experience as a simulation expert in photonic devices. At Ozen Engineering, we specialize in the simulation of optics and photonics, structural, and thermal analysis. We also commercialize MOSFET design and are an ANSYS elite channel partner.
Course Overview
This course will teach you how to design passive components for photonic integrated circuits using Lumerical tools. The course is structured as follows:
-
Waveguides and Fibers:
- Discuss different waveguides and fibers using Lumerical tools.
- Calculate dispersion, group index, and other parameters at the component and circuit level.
- Define waveguides, calculate modes, extract effective index and dispersion, and extract S-parameters.

Hi everyone. In this video, I will describe the content of the course titled "Designing Passive Photonic Components with Lumerical Tools." Let me introduce myself first. I'm Majid, and I currently work at Ozen Engineering.
I hold a PhD in photonics and have extensive experience as a simulation expert in the photonics device field. At Ozen Engineering, we are experts in the simulation of optics, photonics, structural, thermal, and mechanical systems. We also commercialize MOSFET design at Ozen Engineering.
I am 오зен Xian, and this course is dedicated to you, Floyd, and electromagnetic fields. We are an ANSYS Elite Channel Partner. In this course, I will teach you how to design passive components for photonic integrated circuits.
I will start by discussing different waveguides and fibers using the Lumerical tool. I will teach you how to calculate dispersion, group index, and other parameters in component and circuit levels.
Using this workflow, you can define a waveguide, calculate the mode, extract the effective index and dispersion, and extract S-parameters. With the numerical interconnect, a circuit model is created using this compact model.
Next, I will teach you how to design beam splitters, wire branches, and interferometers. We will calculate transmission and reflection, extract S-parameters, and then calculate the circuit behavior using the compact model in the numerical interconnect.
You will learn how to design a wire branch with the maximum broadband transmission using parametric optimization. The workflow of this design will be demonstrated. For optimization, we will use Python.
We will start with a simulation script file, parametrize the structure, and then run the optimization 3D FDTD wire branch. You can export the GDS file and use it in other software. Now, let's move on to teaching you how to design an edge coupler.
Decoupling light from fiber to the chip is one of the main challenges in designing photonic chips. You will learn how to design and optimize couplers using numerical tools. In this part, you will learn how to calculate mode overlap between fiber and chip.
Next, we will discuss other components such as directional couplers, photonic crystal fibers, photonic crystals, multi-mode interference waveguide tapers, spot size converters, and ring resonators based on Monte Carlo simulation.
The S-parameter and group of the components will be located in the same section. In the next step, we will define a project based on your needs, and I will help you review your project in different areas such as LIDAR photonic integrated circuits, silicon photonics, and other areas.
This course will teach you how to model and analyze photonic chip passive components using numerical tools. You will have access to our numerical resources and can collaborate on potential projects. Please contact us for support, especially at [support@ozoning.com](mailto:support@ozoning.com).
Thank you, and see you soon. Thank you.
